No 5200xxx
I was recruited in Salisbury Rhodesia in 1960. Enjoyed a 3000mile steam train ride over 2 or 3 days covered in soot from the steam engine, no air con in those days from Salisbury to Cape Town. Then a lovely cruise over 2 weeks with Pretoria Castle (Union Castle line) to Southampton. Very depressing arrival in Feb 60 to mist, smell of coal smoke, dirty train and bloody cold weather. Very hard for a colonial boy. Joined 147 course at South Cerney and then 35 years of thorough enjoyment in the truckie fleet.
Not many around, I am sure, with the 5 million sequence.
