Thank you and hello again...

It might be useful too clear something up here:

At times, there will be two of us writing posts here, myself (292138 is/was my service number) and Junior (lets call him '53'..his age!) as I am an old codger who has failing eyesight and arthritis in every joint! '53' owns the computer and allows me to play with it if I'm good.........

Right, both '53' and I are ex-Navy. He with the 'Andrew', me with the merchant service. I was ( *swing that lamp* ) a mere lad who saw service on deep sea recue tugs between 1943-47 as a 'greaser' on HMRT Destiny and later HMRT Goodwin. '53' is ex-Fleet Air Arm and saw his service firstly at HMTS Ganges as a mere lad and then with HMS Ark Royal and HMS Eagle, as a fireman.
Hope that clears things up and I ( and 53) look forward to chatting some more, but its time for breakfast now and he's cooking it, so later folks.
