Olive Tree

Olive Tree taken from the Faithful



    Thats an old yin! I  remember that boat at the seine for years from ayr (70,s) when i was a boy ???
    Think she had an east coast (or originally eastie) crew. BA reg though i think?
    One time they let the boy lift the landin derrick and he got a turn wrapped up on the winch drum...snapped the derrick!
    only way to learn though!!  O0.
    built for Alex Duthie Ayr (ex Fraserburgh man) BA 127 - he had mainly a local crew -couple of east coasters back and forwards - I remember the incident you are referring to re the derrick - it was my youngest brother that was involved - my father a crew member at the time
