    Default London Fusilier

    Yes they were great little ships those SD14s. I joined the Fusilier as a new building at Pallions yard in Sunderland in June 1972 and had 8 great months on that ship as a deck cadet.

    Yes Archie loved the Sd 14 seat of the pants stuff no control rooms next to no automation simple straight forward engineering glad you enjoyed your time aboard the Fusilier as much as I did on the Bombardier ATB fella Hughie
