50 YEARS AGO TODAY!
On our first holiday with my girlfriend Anne (later, and still, my wife), staying with realtives in Paisley.
Our holiday had to include a trip "doon the watter" which, as it happened, was on board the WAVERLEY, at that stage still operated by Caledonian SP Co Ltd.

We saw two laid-up BP tankers of NEM interest (see also BRITISH VALOUR)
This was the first. River Clyde - 5 July 1972:
