Hallo from first timer
Hallo.
My name is Andy Roots and this is my first message.
I joined the MN as an Engineer Cadet with B&C/Cayzer Irvine in 1966 and left them for a shore job in 1977, as S/2/E. I sailed mainly with Clan Line, but also on a couple of Union Castle Ships, King Arthur and Elbe Ore. Does anyone remember Clan Line?
Regards
Andy
