Re: Stuart prince
Hi Roger,
I remember Ken. We have a few boozy nights ashore. Also Dunny. A great Engineer and as you say certainly liked his Scotch.
I caught up with Andy 18 months ago on a visit to UK. Had a few hours reminiscing but somehow the stories were not exactly the same. Funny how you remember things.

Hi Dodge, I still look back on that trip with great memories. I have been going through all my old photos and digitising them. I have a few form the Stuart Prince. Not so many but would have heaps more if it were today with digital cameras etc..
I met up with Andy a couple of years ago on a visit to the UK. Likes a beer or three. A great mate from my home town.
Hope you are keeping safe.

Re: Stuart prince
Hi Ian,
Your name sound familiar. When did you join & what did you do on board?

Hi Again Ian,
The old grey matter has kicked in. You were a Deck Cadet at the time. Right? With Malcolm Price & Dave Blackhurst. The Engineer Cadets were John Cullen? Andy Parker & me. See attached photo.img020.jpg.
Back row: Malcolm, John, Andy. Front row You, Me, Dave

hi Ian,
Good to hear from you.
I have a few more, some of which are on this site.
That was the best ship I served on and the best time I had.
What did you do after leaving the MN?
