Hi Col, Sailed with you on the Forth I think 1984, I was AS on there, my last trip before going 2nd cook Loui Allard was 2nd cook, Not 110% sure who the rest of the deck crowd were.

These are the vessels I served on during my time with BP, after 1984 (just before the cull) I left for pastures new shortly afterwards gaining my first position as master . It was only after leaving BP that I realised that life at sea wasnt so bad after all......;-)

Hi Col,

Think this is the third or fourth message I've left on this forum, I'm looking to find out a bit of info about the Sivand and ex crew. Did you ever work with a young man called Mehdi Jeloos-Haghi who would have been going through his training at the time you would have been on the Sivand?

if you could pick your brains for me it would be much appreciated!
