Forgot to mention that I also sailed on the Ardrosson, 24/9/74 – 10/4/75. Best accommodation ever. I flew out to Sydney with Captain Baker; what a gent. Then had a taxi to join her in Port Pirie.
I remember the names of John Saunders, John Thomson, John Young, all from somewhere in Scotland. Bob Strachan from Goole, somebody must remember him; he was on his second discharge book going on his third. Nobby Clarke was the bosun, and of course, Taffy.
Sorry to anyone you whose name I cannot remember, if you was on her I will remember you, so please get in touch.
