I must have missed this; were there any casualties? I remember travelling on her from Dover to Boulogne a number of times in the 'eighties.

No problem.

I took a pic of her in, I think, 1986:

Was that how she was when you sailed on her, or was it before her conversion?

I will have to look through my pics; they are not "digitised" that far back yet. I would suspect that it was after conversion as, we went to Hythe for holidays 1985-2003; if I find any pics, I will let you know.

Best wishes

Dave
