I sailed in her in 1955/56 as my last ship before resigning from Marconi and moving to Blue Funnel. Saw her in Hong Kong a few months later as Metal Trader. She was a happy ship despite not having many of the creature comforts. I've put a photo in the gallery
Hi Tabnab, I sailed in her as cadet in 55. Then saw her in Hong Kong as Metal Trader - I was 4th Mate in Asturias,
The Mate of the Trader was a chap called Connor who was 2nd mate when she was Lombardy- had a drink with him on board.
Cheers
