I have just found this site and noted your comments concerning Gilbert Filsche taking movie pictures on the Donegal.
I sailed with Gilbert on the Tyrone on a voyage from London to Auckland in the latter part of 1958. This was a MANZ run and was my final trip with the Company after serving 5 years with them. We both had 8mm movie cameras and filmed various activities that formed the routine ship board life as it was in those days. This included a shot of him at his desk in his office which he had asked if I would do for him. I would be interested to know if Gilbert did any filming of the engine room on the Donegal, if he did I would very much like to have a copy of film. Sid.
