    Brian, your dedication to your pursuits and background knowledge of all that excites your interests is truly delightful to share. Here is a photo of Fletcher Christian with his hand over his mouth when I was with him at Cascades, Norfolk Island in 1949. At the time he was about to go to New Zealand and wrote on a slip of paper the address of his uncle Virgil Christian whom he was going to stay with there. I saw it the other day and when it comes to light again i will send you a copy. It may be relevant to those you know. During my trips there I was platonic friends with a young lady descendant of one of the mutineers - no names and certainly just a couple of teenagers, and we wrote to each other for quite a while after I rejoined the British MN.
    Cheers, Richard

    The uncertainty of the wait can at times be worse than the result. Just hope it is a good one mate. Hang in there and remember, never ever give up!
