Sad to report the passing some years ago of my neighbour
in Edinburgh Mr George Aitken, Ben line, Castle boats and RFA.
Also in Auckland NZ Mr Andy Hopkins engineer with NZSCo of Auckinleck Scotland
crossed the bar due to an inoperable brain tumour.
George inspired me to go to sea with his outrageous tales of the sea and Andy was
my drinking buddy in Auckland. Good guys both.
