Prior to your delivery, the filming must have started during 1961 when we arrived in Aqaba in the British Peer to deliver product. Our agent told us that King Hussein was in town for some water skiing and would be announcing his engagement to an English girl, Toni Gardner. Capt decided to dress the ship overall which didn't go unnoticed by the King. Captain's Steward knocked on my door and asked if I had any glasses, which were duly requisitioned. A VIP party came aboard for drinks with the Captain and we understand the King was one of them. That evening there was a barbecue where some of the Lawrence of Arabia cast helped to celebrate the engagement.
I believe it was a Brough Superior 1000cc
that's way cool, love the film.
The movie, which presents a portrait of the complicated soldier and author T.E. Lawrence, won seven Academy Awards, including those for best picture and best director, and made lead actor Peter O’Toole a star.
Remember shipping a jet black race horse beautiful colt on deck in a horse box from La Spezia, Liguria, Italy to Houston Texas, I had a great affinity with the horse washing him down feeding him slopping out for a few days when we landed him on the quay at Houston the mate told me there was someone in the skippers room wanted to see me, A great big Texan the owner skipper had told him of my affinity with the colt shook my hand and handed me $50 note, Happy days indeed Terry. :whoopdedoo:
