I had the following email from one of our old favourites of long ago Mark Robson. Sadly Mark's membership has lapsed but good to hear from him on this topic.....
Hi Paul
I hope you are well. I have very little spare time to contribute to the Forum at present but like to look in when I can. I was reading the MFI thread which moved onto the issue about The Britannia and thought this website would be of interest:

It gives a fascinating insight into the design as well as featuring the ship which Barry W referred to. I remember being taken for a meal to The Britannia in the early 1970s. This was considered a real treat and I had spaghetti bolognaise which was about as exotic as food got in those days!
With best wishes.
Mark
Many thanks for that Mark

Interesting photo from Scotchie above..the building down the lane on the extreme right is the one that partially collapsed the other week. Often nip back to Boland Towers that way.
