Nautical Lecturers we knew
I am thinking now of Liverpool: Ozzie Stewart, Frank Main, Chalkie (First Mates) and the younger ones Alan Bole, Len Holder, Terry Beggs.
Any memories?

Hello Dave,
It was indeed the same Terry Beggs. I heard he ended up in Coe Metcalf thence retired to Anglesey (Beaumaris).

Wasn't Terry Beggs Captain Superintendent of the Indefatigable shore scholl at Llanfairpwll, Anglesey. I think I am right ! If so, he and Capt Parry Hughes published a wonderful book on the Menai Straits - full of graet photos which terry Beggs took. I understand he was a very good photographer.
Regarding lecturers, not many of you will remember Nellists Nautical Academy in Newcastle on Tyne. I studied for 2nd Mate there in 1946 or 7. Neither of the two brothers had ever been to sea but their success rate was the best in the country.

I remember "Bomber" Lancaster at Hull Trinity House, he was a terror to us all when we were in the Navigation school, he used to tell us we should all be in approved schools, but when we went back to sit our tickets he was great to us, and always pleased to see us.
All,
I was up in front of an Examiner Captain ----- ?(yes, above Burtons) for Coxswain Second Class when at the Boulevard Nautical School in Hull in 1958, can someone please enlighten me as to his name.
He was ferocious we lived in terror.
Yours aye,

When I was at Nellists Nautical Academy doing 2nd Mates in 1945 there was a chap briefly in our digs who was doing his 3rd orals for master. At his first oral he had disagreed with the examnier over some point and had been failed and told to come back after 3 or 6 months back at sea. He came back - went into the orals - was asked same question - stuck to his answer - sent back to sea again. Third time examiner relented and passed him. Wish I could remember what the bone of contention was between them.
'Bomber' Lancaster had 3 pet hates,I remember "Bomber" Lancaster at Hull Trinity House, he was a terror to us all when we were in the Navigation school, he used to tell us we should all be in approved schools, but when we went back to sit our tickets he was great to us, and always pleased to see us.
1) Long haired coffee bar cowboys
2) People who smoked
3) Women who played bingo
Needless to say he ended up marrying his landlady, who smoked 30 a day, and spent her evenings at the bingo hall.
A great guy when we came up for 2nd Mates.
It may have been Captain McQueen - I did 2nd mates there in 1964 with him.All,

I remember Terry Beggs being the superintendent for deck cadets at Aulis. I think he left 79-80 or thereabouts. I think that it was Lyle "Commander" Crowe that took over from him. I later sailed with Lyle on Barber Blue Sea.

Tom Ollerton, Jed Stone, Roger Scholes of Fleetwood Nautical College and not forgetting the 'punny' humour of Dougie Stott!
I remember him well, at first when attending the "Pre-Sea Cadet Course" at the old Clarence Street location (College of Building) in 1955.Anyone remeber Captain Holland at Liverpool.

Later on had him for 2nd Mate in 1960 and Mate in 62.
A genial, humerous man with a broad Lanky accent, his first name was Frank
Johnny was it not Alan ollerton ( smoked a pipe ) and also Neil Robertson .Tom Ollerton, Jed Stone, Roger Scholes of Fleetwood Nautical College and not forgetting the 'punny' humour of Dougie Stott!

The Byrom Street Lecturers were very much two tier (age wise). Ozzie Stewart headed the old timers.
The younger ones who were contempories of Terry Beggs (mentioned above) were Len Holder and Alan Bole ( all three BF). Percy Owen was ex Brocks and Tom Maddox ex T & Js. There was only one lecturer in Byrom Street who did not have Extra's and that was Chalkie (lived Leasowe Road). Chalkie was only allowed to teach up to First Mates (FG) which was a shame as he really knew his stuff.

MIke, you may well be right, it's so long ago now (I left in 1970). Can't recall him smoking a pipe, though. I recall he drove a Hillman Minx (or Super Minx). When he made a point, he used to make a sort of plopping noise with his tongue.Johnny was it not Alan ollerton ( smoked a pipe ) and also Neil Robertson .

Don't remember Neil Robertson, sorry.
More by good luck than by design, I did all of my study & tickets in Glasgow at GCNS between 1971 and 1980. The lecturers in the Nav Department were the finest and fairest one could possibly hope for. They must have been to get me past DOT! I had the grestest respect for each and every one of them.
