I was on the Minab (2-10-81) then Mokran (28-11-81) when the Iran/Iraq war started, we were running between Bandar Mashar and Bandar Abbas If i recall correctly. Operating a shuttle with the Mokran. When it got too hot for the Brit crews to go up they laid a load of us off and used an Iranian Navy crew to take the ships up. I was one of the many paid off in Dubai.
