Today is Merchany Navy Day

Having spent 28 years in the Merchant Navy – I and many of my ship mates were involved in supporting our military and country.

Today those are remembered and I am very grateful to  Whittlesey Branch of The Royal British Legion, for flying my authentic/used ‘Red Duster’ today at our War Memorial.

This is a photo from last year….I will hopefully get some today.

I was part of a company that won in its day The Queens Award to Industry.

I am proud to be in pocession of 3 of these ‘marble awards’

More men were lost at sea than in any of the other ‘armed forces’

If interested I built/maintain another website on one of my old (British) Shipping Companies….The complete history …
