    Default My BP Ships

    Hi all,
    Just joined. Did my time with BP and was on the following:

    British Reliance
    British Tamar
    British Skill
    British Argosy
    Border Battler
    British Trader
    Loch Rannoch
    Border Thistle
    British Pioneer
    British Curlew
    Border Tartan

    Thereafter left for pastures new, but still at sea, just not on tankers!

    Hi Majla.
    I also sailed on the British Pioneer,but I dont
    think it was the same one you sailed on,I was
    on it in 1952/3 also on the Resource,Envoy,Hero
    and the Duke.
