Clan Line Crew

[Alistair Wilkinson]

Good morning all,

I am trying to locate any ex Clan Line crew who may have knew my late Father RON "TINY" WILKINSON, He served on various Clan Ships his first being the SS Ayrshire in 1958 joining as a Junior Engineer.

I have added a Photo of him and do hope I have some luck in finding anyone who knew him or served with him, In particular I would like to find his Best Man at his wedding in Durban SA, I only know his first name which was Bobby so I know it will be a long shot.
