[BITList] mystery solved

[FS]

ct
I live in Fremantle as I married an ozzy girl I met when the Resurgent 
went to oz like you say it was unusual to have eng from the south in BI 
I did my time in Portsmouth dockyard where we were all supposed to 
gravitate to the RN, but I wanted to see the far east and had seen 
enough navel vessels while doing my time, must admit though the dockyard 
training has stood me in good stead
