    Have read through All the Posts re.The Head Line ships. though see no metion of one that was often in Bordeaux with us ,during the early fifties. The Malin Head.
    Often was reminded of that one. As my address for some years ,here in oZ was Malin Court.

    The adjacent streets all had Irish names,Dublin ,Galway ,etc.
    Cheers!

    Hi, George,
    This is Fred Shepherd.
    Remember hazy days on the Bengore Head in Finland ??.
    I still have a lot of slides taken there in the ice.
    Regards

    good to hear from you, yes, Michael Knight met me in Belfast before I came to Australia, that was over twenty two years ago. As I recall he was a land surveyor and seemed to enjoy that. He had an only son, who had been killed on a motorbike. Then he went to New Zealand and skippered tug boats, asked me to look him up when I arrived in Australia, haven't heard of him since. If my memory serves me right we first sailed on the New Torr to-gether with Ted Heize (not sure of the spelling) then maybe we had a trip on the Fair to-gether. Do you remember Robert Vance on the Fair, he kept the music going with his guitar which reminds me, if you go into Andy Niblocks site (do you remember Andy) he has an interesting little 35mm movie on the Fair Head entering the locks (Great lakes) you'll recognize the bosun Ernie with his black cap on. As you can see on site I've been in touch with a few of the lads which is good, it brings back a moment in time when I think about them.

    Keep in touch MIke.

    I sailed with Andy Niblock and we shared many a jar.

    What is his website address,
    I don't seem to be able to bring it up ??
    Regards

    Hi Fred, Andy's address is, andy niblock @ hotmail.com. He has an 8mm clip of the Fair Head on utube you might find very interesting. Sorry about the delay, Raymond
