MATRA
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2019 9:00 pmMATRA (5229194), Thos. & Jno. Brocklebank Ltd., Liverpool, 8954gt,
completed Wm. Hamilton & Co. Ltd., Port Glasgow, 5-1949.
1971 AEGIS SAVE I (Greece), BU Gandia 19.2.72 [Aureliano Perez Iborra]
I recall that in my original 1961 Ian Allan booklet of BRITISH CARGO LINERS I very quickly underlined all but one of the Brocklebank fleet having sighted them in local waters fairly soon after starting my hobby. The MATRA was one of them but, at that time, I was not able to photograph many of the ships I saw. However, I am somewhat surprised that the only view I have of her was this (poorer quality) Box Brownie effort in Liverpool - 14 September 1965:
