Cape Boats 1956 to 1960

[David Upson]

Hello,
My Dad served with Billy Skipsey (from Liverpool), Joe Gaffney (from Glasgow) and Brian Dodsworth (from London) on the Cape boats as stewards and would be interested to discover if they are still around. My Dad formed a band called the Stripes with them and when ashore played gigs in Cape Town, PE and Durban. Thank you.

Possible Links to these , but who knows if they are still around! However i am so there is a big possibility!
Cheers

There is NO Dodsworth that is listed from London.
