Dunera_1967.jpg
 Lifeboat Drill; Dunera Cruise 19671643 viewsThis was the Dunera cruise of early 1967. I was in 3B at the time and this is a scan (took a while to get it down to 250kb!) of a picture that appeared in the Times of Malta.
I cannot name a soul, (apart from me of course! Front row,4 along with head at jaunty angle, book in hand and OMG turn ups!) So if anyone can fill in those names: go for it!15 commentsChris Howells33333
