I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

You are of course quite right. It was a Rough old trip then, about the same year as your Vulcan captain. In this isntance we had already been jam in the sandwich between two May. One had then left was we eased in on the wrong side for more piccies. You should have heard the RT

On Kiev, or an other ship, we were allowed 3 passes. Once of our wet men had gone to the brand new Sea King and they went out stooging around Kiev. They made the 3 standard passes too but they changed film on each leg.
