Welcome aboard Aelion.
Only got there once, March 1947 on the SS 'Moreton Bay'. I bet Colombo has changed over the last 66 years.

Hi Aelion,
welcome to the squad, hope you enjoy yourself. I had some great times in Colombo in the mid sixties, like Richard says, I bet there have been some changes since. We called it Colombo, Ceylon in those days.
Cheers
Kevin
