This is amazing. The details. The humour. The history. The sense of eavesdropping on the friendship between the four. The checking of facts between themselves. And especially the generous attributions of the contributions of other people. Corporate Greed. Never totally pure. “Perfection is not for this world “
The Sitmar Line's 'main man' was one Basil Vlasov who was AL CAPONE's criminal coal runner back in the 20s/30s. The Sitmar (Societe ITaliano MARitimi) huge "V" on Sitmar vessel's funnels was to signify Vlasov in fact. (I used to be a shipping agents' clerk in Southampton & 'we' handled all Sitmar biz.....Fairstar, Fairsky, Fairsea & Castel Felice, the middle two handled mainly 'Assisted Passage' trade when you could emigrate for a Tenner per person but had to pay your own way back IF you didn't like it. (And MANY didn't! It took a very unique character to blend in with the lovely Ozzies…Bruces & Sheilas...personally I adored 'em!)

Fascinating info @Richard Neville 🤓
It's lovely to hear stuff from back room experience
Keith has a great sense of humor
Tremendous singers
There will never be another group like them. If you ask me how an angel sounds like, it would be close to Judith
What down to earth and wonderful human beings !!!
