Once again the magic of your wonderful site has conjured up a new pal.
We are old Vindi boys and charted a similar course during our time at sea starting with the old Cunard cargo carrier 'Andria' out of KG5.
I seem to have been one step behind him all the way and was unaware of same.
Brian Ribbans is Standard Bearer for Suffolk branch of the M.N. Assoc.
He visits Oz frequently and we may catch up.

Thanks again
