[BITList] dara mystery

[CT's]

yo frank

regret don't recall any jeo on dara named frank - what was your home town and family name?
the oz guy you are talking about was bob SPOONER - he is not the oz ceo I'm talking about.
the academically clever jeo has be puzzled! what did he look like?
there was pete durham [not him]. a lad from northern ireland [not him]. there was a tall, skinny jeo from london - unforgettable because he was very loth to wash/shower.
as far as I know the 2eo never did a watch.

I only really have a clear recollection of ramsey as I bumped into him again in Aden I think he was then on one of the "C"s and I was on the Resurgent I went over to visit in the harbour aboard our 25 footer remember being met by the mate who thought it was a RN boarding party so if you where on board at the same time as me it must have been you who was lumbered with me on watch?
The only oz guy I can remember was bob schooner but I think he was 2nd on the Karanja the mists of time are great for mixing things up
do remember there was a very academically clever junior who was just there to get his sea time in

  tks, frank

  I knew most of this group - they were aboard when it sank, which I believe was in the spring of [April] 1961.
  with ref to the period you were onboard  12/5/60 ~ 8/6/60. I believe I was onboard then, leaving in December 1960.
  at that time, the ceo was a big guy from oz [don't recall his name], -  Ramsey, Pete Jordan, Jackie Edgar, Pete Durham and maybe bhattarjee were onboard, the others you name must have come later.
  do you recall who were the engineers  12/5/60 ~ 8/6/60 ? [26 days]
  PS how do you remember the names of those onboard when she sank?
