This was taken on the Royal Princess maiden voyage in 1984, and is Jimmy Shaw (3 Eng) and Jan Bacon (PRS) who I have noted is still at sea (as Restaurant Manger) and is in the latest photo's of "Miss Jones" paying off for the last time. They must have just had a round of drinks delivered for the poor old 12-4 in the control room and I don't think Jim was too pleased that I had taken the photo.
