Great vid there thanks very much. I was sparks on Fleetbank/GQEE feb 75 to oct 75 - 8 months trip round the world eastwards - fabulous, and what lovely ships that class were. Great accommodation for sparks too, up on the Old Man's deck. Next trip was 6 months on Ernebank not quite so good:face-fuchsia-tongue-out:
