Bestowed on me by my grandson, who, having read the 'Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner' decided that the 'conversion' was appropriate.
The name.....
.....Rossian is indicative of where I was born.
My sign-off was given to me by a German Navy commander boss who said "Is an aviator,is dressed like soldier but thinks like a submariner - must be "The Ancient Mariner".
