Blue Star Logbook

This is sad news of the recent circumstances and the passing of John Notman.
John and I shared a common thread from Bromley High School (Kent) and locality in England. John was apprenticed to Vestey Group ship repair engineers; Russells in London. We met as marine engineers; John as Chief Engineer in Austasia Line, where he met Gretta in Sydney. I was stationed with Blue Star Line in Australia and John was appointed to Associated Container Transportation in New Zealand. We remained always friendly acquaintances, both privileged to serve the Vestey Group of companies for long periods of our working lives.

Sincerely,

Tony Smith
