I had a really good friend who sailed on the British Soldier in 1963. His name was Peter Watts and he was in the catering dept. could have been a steward or training as a cook. I wonder if you can recall him?

I am new to the site so maybe getting this wrong. I sailed on British Honour 1964/65, then 1966/1967. Best ship I ever sailed on, many times to Bandur Mashur but you can't have it all your own way

Good day Nick, I was an A.S, we must have met on board the Gull in 1965, were you on the Gull before she went into Dry dock at South Shields or after. I was on board before and after. I also had a stint on the Workman, up the Baltic in winter, came back with a lot of rivet's taken off with the ice.

Hello Nick, I sailed in the British Realm and the British Talent in the 50s. Both did the Mena to Little Aden run amongst other ports.The T2s were mostly used for the Mena/Little Aden run. Little Aden is now The Yemen I believe. Regards Frank.
