Bulleid 'Merchant Navy' 35028 'Clan Line' hurries along the down slow line at Farnborough with the 'End Of Steam' special commemorating 55 years since steam ceased from London Waterloo. Having started from Victoria, the train ran to Yeovil, then Weymouth, then back to Waterloo,
Wind was howling through Aberdeen as the so called “ Beast From The East” weather phenomenon had visited and played havoc across the city and indeed the whole of Grampian Scotland, the sea raged hard and waves became tall and strong battering the breakwaters and shore line.
Basingstoke on the 10th of September 1966 and Merchant Navy 35012 United States Lines is on the down Bournemouth Belle. The blue BG looks slightly out of place!
35012 was new to the Southern from Eastleigh Works as 21C12 in January 1945. Withdrawn in April 1967 the loco was cut up at Cashmores in Newport in September of that year.

Surbiton sometime in the 60's and Merchant Navy 35009 Shaw Savill is on a down Waterloo to Southampton Docks service (thanks to David), with a LMS Van followed by a Mark 1 BG in tow.
The loco was new from Eastleigh Works to the Southern in June 1942 as 21C9. Withdrawl was in July 1964 and the loco was sent to Barry. The loco survives today owned by Riley and Son and is being restored by them.

News Item Dec 22 2014
Sentinel Marine, a Singapore-based owner of offshore support vessels, will soon expand its fleet of Emergency Response and Rescue Vessels (ERRVs).
The company has informed that its new ERRV, named ‘Lundy Sentinel’ was launched at China’s Fujian Southeast Shipyard on December 22, 2014.
The Lundy Sentinel is a 61 meters long Multi Role ERRV. The DP 1 vessel has a clear deck space of 320 square meters.The Lundy Sentinel’s sister vessels, Cygnus Sentinel and Fastnet Sentinel were launched in August and September last year, respectively.
Waiting on supply ships to arrive and leave the harbour I snapped the pilot boat on its return, checking my photo's tonight I found this one had captured a fellow in his blue suede shoes on the river bank opposite, with his deck chair, it made me smile and have a chuckle .
A maritime pilot, also known as a marine pilot or harbor pilot and sometimes simply called a pilot, is a sailor who manoeuvres ships through dangerous or congested waters, such as harbors or river mouths. He or she is normally an ex ship captain and a highly experienced shiphandler who possess detailed knowledge of the particular waterway, e.g. actual depth, direction and strength of the wind, current and tide at any time of the day. The pilot is a navigational expert for the port of call.
Maneuvering a ship through the shallow water to berth / unberth in a port requires teamwork which involves, apart from the port pilot, the ship's captain (jointly responsible), ship's crew, port tugs, and shore linesmen. Since the pilot is on board the ship, he controls the tugs and linesmen through a radio and the ship directly. The ship's captain ensures his crew carry out the pilot's orders.
High skill is required to be a pilot as the channels through which the ships move towards the port is normally too narrow and shallow for the size of the ships, stopping distance of the ships being a few nautical miles and the fact that ships do not steer at slow speed. Even if a ship captain is a regular visitor to a certain port, he can not match the expertise and experience of the Pilot.
In an unfortunate case of an accident, high pollution is a risk as the ships carry thousands of tonnes of fuel for her own consumption.(Clean up cost and other damages of the Exxon Valdez disaster was around $ 5 billion). Also if a ship is wrecked in the channel, the channel and the port could be closed for months until the shipwreck is removed.
Most ports have compulsory pilotage.
Legally, the master has full responsibility for safe navigation of his vessel, even if a pilot is on board. If he has clear grounds that the pilot may jeopardize the safety of navigation, he can relieve him from his duties and ask for another pilot or, if not compulsory to have a pilot on board, navigate the vessel without one. Only in transit of the Panama Canal and in Canada does the pilot have the full responsibility for the navigation of the vessel.
In English law, Section 742 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1894 defines a pilot as "any person not belonging to a ship who has the conduct thereof." In other words, someone other than a member of the crew who has control over the speed, direction, and movement of the ship. The current United Kingdom legislation governing pilotage is the Pilotage Act 1987.
Pilotage is one of the oldest professions, as old as sea travel, and it is one of the most important in maritime safety. The oldest recorded history dates back to about the 7th century BC.[1] The economic and environmental risk from today's large cargo ships makes the role of the pilot essential[citation needed].

The 'RailAid' train from London Victoria to Dover on 21 November was intended to be double-headed by class 8P pacifics, namely 35028 'Clan Line' and 60163 'Tornado', but 'Tornado's drving wheel tyres were damaged during a bad braking slide on a light engine move the previous week and it had to be withdrawn. Instead, 67021 was coupled 'inside' 'Clan Line' as insurance. The train, using the 'Belmond Pullman' set, was organised by Sir Peter Hendy as a charity fundraiser and carried a number of railway industry senior managers as well as members of the public. It is seen here entering the impressively deep cutting at Hooley (approaching Merstham tunnel) with the major ground stabilisation works undertaken several years ago visible on the left.

I suppose the story of my life could be divided into Chapters. Some are longer, some are shorter. The earlier chapters are just brief interludes here and there as I ended up in nearly 20 different countries before I was nine years old. This one is Chapter 7. I’ve jumped ahead a bit in my story telling because this one was a bit more interesting. In fact it was already written up in a book 40 years ago, my Merchant Navy Deck Officer Training Record Book. It was written up by Captains, Chief Engineers, Chief officers with the odd entry by Radio Officers as I completed levels of competency and training for different tasks and responsibilities as an apprentice Navigator and Deck Officer.
So the record book was extremely important and as a new cadet I made a cover for it out of navigational paper to protect it as it accompanied me everywhere we went round the world for over four years. My picture shows how I decorated it with tiny black felt tip profiles of the ships I sailed on. “Sevonia Team”, “Wellpark”, “Loch Lomond”, “Conon Forest”, “Coastal Corpus Christi” and “Nordic Clansman”
I was just 19, n-n-n-n-nineteen, really still a boy, like those who went to fight in Vietnam. Little did I know that my adventures would connect me to Vietnam for another saga. In fact my first act of great responsibility was on Christmas Day, 1977, when I accompanied the Chief Officer on night time bridge watch. I had arrived on the ship in the searing daytime heat in Kharg Island, Persian Gulf, the day before on Christmas Eve after an epic journey from home….no, a nightmare journey on my own from Caithness in the extreme north of dark and freezing Scotland: a five hour train jouney down to Inverness, overnight sleeper to Glasgow, flight to London, brief kip in a hotel at Heathrow, flight to Athens, and then diverted to Tehran on the third night of travelling. From Tehran I caught a flight back to Abadan in Iran, where I managed a few hours sleep in a hotel before catching another flight to Kharg Island oil terminal in the middle of the Persian Gulf.
But the ship was already fully laden with 100,000 tonnes of highly flammable light oil and naphtha and by the end of Christmas Day we set sail for Whangarei in New Zealand. I must admit the ways in which we, as a small contingent of 12 British Officers and cadets, managed to amuse ourselves over extended periods at sea has faded somewhat from my memory, but I do remember I never felt bored, and that alcohol played a significant part in keeping us happy (But I think the adventure and anticipation of what was over the horizon always kept me eager). To those who have lived such a life it will be no surprise that the young Chief Officer I was on watch with had drunk far too much by Christmas night. After all he had worked solidly for three days on cargo loading operations in that heat with no sleep, and with it falling on Christmas had felt he deserved some refreshment and a nap. That meant he fell into a drunken sleep in no time. And so, my first responsibility, with no training whatsoever, was to be in charge of 150,000 tons of floating bomb as it left the Straits of Hormuz behind and headed into the Gulf of Oman. My instructions were simple. Stay awake and if I saw another ship coming our way to try to shake the Chief Officer into life. It was just the start of a chapter of my life that included great travel, adventure, considerable danger and alot of fun, literally all across the globe.

Trip 6: "Nordic Clansman" 248,000 tonne dwt VLCC (Very Large Crude carrier): Palermo, Sicily - Suez Canal - Ras Al Kaimah, / Ras Tanura, bla, bla, bla, Saudi Arabia
OK my mind blurs a bit. One oil terminal or port in the Persian Gulf looked much the same as another. The frequency of docking in European ports became mundane, but it was the long voyages deep into the Southern hemisphere from one side of the South Atlantic through near southern ocean's storms to the other side, and balmy days sailing 16000 km in a straight line across the Pacific, or across the Indian Ocean or South China Sea that gave me life long memories.
If anyone ever said they were thinking of going to sea, for travel, adventure and to explore the world I would say, "Go!" There is no better way to see it. But please, not on a cruise ship.

This position has become very overgrown recently. The better angle was up by the tree to the left, but this is near impossible now and you are very much looking at an avenue of trees with little else. My position here involved balancing on the drystone wall and was only just possible to get enough height. Thankfully the view of the Ribble Valley off to the right is still there!
