Seen over the years as:
ALPHA PROGRESS - Tees Dock - New Year's Day 1978: Now there's a thing! Delivered as STENA RUNNER on 04.11.1977 and renamed ALPHA PROGRESS 1978. If that date is correct the paint cannot have been dry by the time I took this photo? (and both sets of names do look somewhat indistinct as at that time)
