Hullo Charlie;Hi Sandy
I Joined The Megantic As Junior Engineer In '64 If I Remember Correctly You Were Fifth At The Time And Harry Parker Was Chief With Robert Burns As Second We All Had Some Great Times Aboard Her You May Also Remember Jimmy Hater (aus) And Peter Lidgard (nz) I Remember That I Also Caught Up With You In Newcastle Aboard The Arabic When I Went Releiving
Its A Small World
Howzit Martin; Remember you well from all those years ago.Still have a couple of photographs taken in the old Zillertal on the Reeperbahn: you feature prominently in both of them,complete with Stein. One of the pictures is taken with the Band(believe it cost a round for that signal honour). Others in the frames are 2nd Mate W. V....(not able to decipher his scrawl-probably a doctor now),cadets Graham Ball and Ian Storey, John Cromar,Grant Cameron,Mike Dawson, Phil Webster.I was third mate that trip
Hi SandyAs an engineer on the Megantic for some time I always found that she was a "happy" ship. Under Captain Stanger (one of the best) everyone got on well.
Chief Engineers Harry Parker and Dia Evans were very approachable and usually came into a party when held. Parties were usually held in aid of one charity or another in N.Z. or Aussy.
Other that Maurice Brew, does any one else remember Harry Parker or Dia Evans.
