Hi Graham; Go on facebook and enter J Roger Leachman, and say hello to your old chief engineer, You may not reconise him from the photo, He got the scar from grinding out the firing space on the Haparangi engine while in New Zealand, he spent quite a while in hospitial. He now lives in Califonia, and is the drummer in a scottish pipe band. We may have passed like ships in the night. Good to hear from ex engineers, All the best John trumble.
To John Trumble - ex-Happy 7th!
Hi John!
nice to hear from you!
That was a memorable voyage with BJ Clark and R. Leachman - what a pair!
I'll drop you a line later when I've more time.
Best Wishes from Tettnang, Germany!
