Salaams Phil; Joined Brocklebanks as apprentice and never left until belly-ache ruled me out. The Company name changed umpteen times during my 30 years.
Sailed on Malakand, Mahout, Maturata, Maskeliya, Mawana, Makrana, Mangla, Mahseer and Maihar (1968 vintage). Coasted Matra and Manaar. Came home on Ivernia, Coasted Media and took Parthia out to Hong Kong. Stood by Conveyor in building but never sailed. Cunard Champion (sported a Brocklebank Funnel and, while I was there, a Brocklebank house flag). Did more time on tankers, Luxor, Luminetta, Lumen, Lumiere, Lucerna, Oloibiri and Energos then a trip on Marin (a baby box boat).
