One thing I could never understand Vic was when initially there was an argument between Fergusons and Calmac as to what had changed to the spec. Why did an auditor be appointed to check (a) what was full extent and cope of initial enquiry, (b) what did Ferguson quote for. (c) was there any differences between quote and enquiry. (d) was any changes agreed by both parties and cost adjusted accordingly. Would have saved all the finger pointing and who said what and no come backs. After all ships had been built on the Clyde for centuries a shipbuilders and owners had been negotiating accordingly. Jim Pottinger
