Hi John, we sailed on the Montreal City at the same time, I stood- by at Burntisland and was on her untill 4/16/64, I then went to st-by the Halifax City, Did Glan Phillips do a couple of voyages with B.C.L. or did he do some relieving at Avonmouth, I seem to recall a 2nd or 3rd mate from Newport at some point. Certainly remember Jo (tony Johasen) we sailed together on Halifax city, I sent him e-mail recently, no feed back as yet. Trust you are keeping well. Regards A.J. Mac. (lecky)

Hi John
I posted on the Bibby thread but you may not have been there for a while.
We sailed together on one of the car ships, Oxfordshire?
You and I went out with our ladies in Bristol and you came back to our flat. Hazy now as a lot of Bristols "finest" was drunk (hardly touched it since) anyway glad you are still around.

Best Wishes

Alan
