Wonder if you could supply your Dads DOB and Place as then we can see if his Records are at Kew!
It would be nice to have these details as then we could include him on our Flags!
Sounds as though you had quite a few good times on the Ship with your Dad!
Can you remember the name of any of his Ships!! (First one if possible)

Gloxinia and Photinia
Saw Marise looking for people who sailed with her Dad Rudi - I was both cadet and 3rd mate with him in the late sixties and early seventies.
