Malcolm
Gough

I
have a very vague memory of Malcolm. I think he joined Nevasa just one
cruise before I left to go to Canberra for a while. I certainly know the
rest of the guys in the shot below.
L-R:
Dave
Harbinson, Dennis Morris, Bob
Scarrott, Derek Cook and Malcolm.

Malcolm
Orr (aka Malc the Alc)

Malcolm
was an Electrician on Oriana in 1977-78. John Elder tells me that Malcolm
is a legend with some magnificent stories.
...
and here's the first;
... and below
is the second;
1977 The Queens
Jubilee year. Oriana was cruising through the Med, the sea was like glass,
the O was like a shark basking in her area. The sun was exactly where it
said it would be in the brochure (the Americans love that bit) and, as
usual, everything was tikkety-boo. The Engineers (best in the world) were
alert, and not on the piss like everyone thinks they were. The Grocers 'n'
Naffs were all having their wee snooze after Tiffin. Just a normal day in
paradise when up popped the royal yacht Britannia, proud as you like.
Oriana sent a
message to them:- "Have a good voyage, God bless the Queen."
The reply from Britannia:-
"Have a good voyage, God Bless All Your Queens".
There's
more photos of Malcolm in Gary Wood's Memories.

Mark
Barnett (aka Barney)

Mark
was with P&O from 77-88. He started as a Deck Cadet then saw the error
of his ways and transferred to Engineering. He finished his Cadetship just
as the company had sold off most of its GCD and BSD ships but was lucky
enough to get an AEO’s job on Canberra’s Falklands refit then on to
the Sun Princess for 2½ years where he got his 2nd’s ticket then back
to the Pacific Princess for 2½ years where he got his Chief’s. He then
had a short stint on the Sea Princess and then left when his eldest son
was born. He then went back on the Pacific Princess as he knew it was the
place for him.

This
photo’s called ‘Me & Mrs Barker’ but I don’t know who Mrs
Barker is.

This
is a familiar scene … chilling in your cabin. That’s Phill Archer on
the left.

Good
old Bunkering. Not that I ever had to do it having being snatched away
from the Sea in my prime as a Junior by the Wicked Witch of the West.
Never mind. On the right is Kieran
Goulding.

Narration
by Mark
On
the left is Paul Truman (aka Freddie Truman) in PP’s control room. He’s
now a Shift Engineer at Fawley Power Station and a great bloke to boot,
always laughing. Gerry Dyer is in the background. Good old Gerry always
trying!
There’s
more photos of Freddie Truman here,

L-R:
Paul
Barratt (aka PB), Mark’s Ex (unnamed), Mark and Jim Bennett.
It
was taken on the Pacific Princess. PB was working for Princess in LA and
Jim was in the new build team.

The
above shot is called ‘The Drifters’
L-R:
Gerry
Dyer, Freddie Blackmore, Mark Barnett, Mick Sammy, Mark Rendle, John Ward
and Brian Benzie.

Mark
remembers this great story about Freddie Blackmore. In Mark’s words. ‘This
has me cracked up every time I think about it, I was on watch as Freddie’s
Junior. He went out to change over the lube oil filters for No1 and No2
Gennies. He didn't put the lid back on the clean one properly and as he
changed over he got covered in oil. Fred was like Capt Mainwaring off Dad’s
Army, he stepped back into the control room and the only part of him not
covered with oil was where his glasses were. I cracked up then rushed out
to get the job cleaned up. Funnier still was the shadow on the bulkhead
straight out of Tom and Jerry, where Fred had been between the filter and
the bulkhead and he appeared to be legs and arms akimbo as it hit him. You
had to be there! I believe Freddie is in WA these days.’
The
next few photos are of some pretty heavy partying. It’s good to see the
boys playing hard after working even harder. As it should be and as it was
before the sick era of lawyers and litigation.




We
never failed to turn up for duty and do our jobs.
One
of the many stupid things Mark remembers doing was to upset Bill
McCandless. He’d shown some totty round the engine room and let her
wear his earmuffs, which then stank of her perfume. When Bill came down in
the morning he said "Who's been having women in my engine room? in
only the way he could. Did he get a bollocking.

Gardiner

of Greg Sinclair
This
was taken on Arcadia around 1973. The lady is Greg
Sinclair’s first wife's Aunt. There’s another photo of Mark in a
cabin group photo in Steve Wedd's
section. Mark was 4th Engineer on Oriana during 1970 & 1971. He later
joined Arcadia as 3rd Engineer but we don't know any more.

Mark Proctor

I
know this is a very poor photo and I've asked Mark to rescan it so
hopefully we can do better later.
Mark
was an Electrician on the Bogey (Canberra), Oriana, Arcadia, Sun Princess
and Island Princess from 1977 to 1982. He was originally from Sutton,
Surrey and now lives in Cocoa Beach, Florida.

Mark
Sawyer (aka The Bean)

Now
Mark Sawyer is a definite one of a kind. They broke the mould after making
Mark. He’s confident, cocky, intelligent, funny … he could have easily
made a living as a stand up comedian. He’s also deep, sensitive and
sincere and a better friend you could not wish for.
That’s
Mark sitting in a lifeboat (with the other bloody slack Leckies while the
real Engineers were down below on standby) as the Big O left Sydney. As it
turns out it was actually my very last Sydney departure. That’s Bob
Chambers on the right in the same boat.

Here’s
Mark with Kevin Timms.

And
here’s a motley crew, God knows where we were or what we were doing that
day.
L-R:
Mark,
Les Diffey, TT,
Speedy and me.
I wish I looked that slim now :)

Here’s
a great shot that Mark sent me with him on the right doing something with Geordie
John that only the two of them will ever know. The Barman, who I
remember very well but can’t remember his name, also looks a little
concerned :) You just had to be there!

Here’s
another one of me in drag that Mark has so kindly dragged out. I’ve got
no idea where the wig came from of what that was all about. I didn’t
think “the finger” was invented then. Maybe I invented it!

Above
is Mark as he looks today. He hasn’t changed one iota and not just
physically but he’s still the same life and soul of the party. The photo
was taken at our first official Reunion Dinner in Fremantle on the 5th
April 2003. That’s Mark’s beautiful wife Veronica on the right and Garry
Stewart almost making it into shot on the left. Mark’s actually
talking to Geordie John Atkinson at
that moment who was at home in Sydney at the time. We passed the phone
around and all had a chat with him which was the first time I’d spoken
with Geordie for 28 years.
Mark’s
done very well for himself professionally and is currently the Business
Development Manager for Ausclad Group of Companies here in Perth. Those Chilli Mussels
look good Mark!

The
above shot was taken 9th March 2006 down the Engine Room of the MV Oriana
during it’s visit to Fremantle. Mark looks fitter and younger every time
I see him. I’m sure he must have signed a pact with the Devil.

just made the Perth newspapers so it's
only fitting to share his continued success.

Martin
Mullen

Martin
joined the Orcades on the 4th September 1971 and did the trip to Oz via
the Cape followed by Ozzy cruising. They spent Christmas near Darwin and
had to be quarantined for a couple of days in Brisbane because of
suspected smallpox outbreak which fortunately turned out to be a false
alarm. The Orcades was a very popular ship with expats and Ozzy cruising.
She nearly sank in Fiji when a 3 ft section of cast iron pipe
disintegrated and flooded the engine-room before they had chance to
shut-off the side valves.
