    DUXMAN
    Once again thank you for your splendid photos, they really are much appreciated by folks who cant get there to see them themselves.
    If you are passing the Britannia at any stage could you take a shot or two so I can see if she’s ok???

    Proved wrong about the luxury item as he chose his log books.
    Has anyone read the book he mentioned?

    I bet there will be some quality pop free music to listen to as well.
    Can anyone have a shilling bet on what he may take with him as his luxury item.
    I’ll guess something like a chess set.

    Does anyone know Carol Vordemans email ? I could then ask her to check the answers!
    Honestly just reading the questions gives me a headache.
    Someone mentioned having to read exam questions back then, very carefully. I do remember being tripped up like this and felt it was unnecessary. The questions were hard enough. What were they testing you on anyway, your maths or reading ability?

    I was thinking of sending the rest of the questions but the ruddy scanners not playing ball and maybe the thread has run its course?
