Does anyone recall the salary scales for Radio Officers back in the 70’s and early 80’s?
I have a vague recollection of joining IMRC back in 1971 as a Junior on £200 a month - but may be wrong. I know that when I got the job my Dad said that he thought I was ‘on a fortune “ and my time at college was well worth it!
In 1981 Three Quays Marine Services were paying about £8000 a year plus a London weighting allowance which again by recollection was a big drop from the then seagoing salary.
It would be nice to get some accuracy rather than relying on memory.
