Dad joined shortly after when he left the Royal Navy, I know he sailed on both of the Rangi ships, but I’m not sure of his others, he I believe was an electrician, although I seem to recall him also working in the engine room. They married in East Ham in 1956. Their names were Michael Magee and Daphne Bluck
