Oronsay Officers 1971

Memories from a very happy time with a great group of people on Oronsay's round the world trip in late 1970/early 1971. I can't remember everyone but here goes.
Back row. ?? Eng; Kevin from NZ Elect; me 3R/O; Peter Richardson 2R/O; John ? J4/O; Charlie Dodsworth Eng; ?? 2nd Surgeon; Dave Blencowe 3/O; Tick Browne J3/O; Tassie ? Eng; ?? Eng;

Front row. Rosemary Green WAP (now my wife); ?? Nursing sister; Madeleine ? Childrens Hostess; ?? Childrens Hostess; Flo Kohler Dutch WAP; ?? Nursing Sister; Diana Ridsdale WAP.

Maybe Buoy can help because he was on there at the same time.

Sorry Tony, the grey matter has been seriously damaged in the intervening years. Other than the ones you mention I can only guess at the WAP in the middle of the front row being Sylvia Barker, but I'm not sure. Doesn't Tick look young! - not to mention the present Mrs Selman!

The present Mrs Selman would try and convince you she hadn't changed, and then I'd send her to open another bottle of wine! Can't say that Sylvia Barker rings a bell but as you say the brain cell has been ravaged over the years.

Think it stands for Woman Assistant Purser...not very PC these days!

Anyone else think the big lassie third left is showing a bit too much???

Britney Spears got some mileage out of it recently...some would say a lot of mileage.
