These vessels were part of the RAF Marine Craft Unit (MCU) whose primary role was Search & Rescue (SAR). We used to love watching them cruise in and out of the I also worked for about 8 months on the Ninian Northern, a massive jacket. On the night of its launch the Teflon slipway failed and all the welders had to come This is a photo of my grandfather. My Mum, Valerie Mackenzie, was one of four children from his first marriage. She immigrated to NZ before I was born so I sadl The man in the photograph is my great grandfather. My grandmother was his daughter Jane and her name appears on the gravestone of Robina Gordon Mackenzie and Jo Cova Green is described by Hugh Miller at the start of chapter 12 of "Scenes and Legends of the North of Scotland". Hello James Andrew Bain, Shirley Alsop, (William) Douglas Bain, I am interested in knowing more about the Donald Bain family at Rosefarm. I'm wondering if any My lovely Gran, Annie Davie. So many good memories of staying with her over the holidays. Still missed. Pretty sure that is Charlie Young second from the end. His shirt is the Fortrose Academy rugby team. My mum was Miss Vicky's nanny before she married my dad. Her mother passed away when she was 16 and she went into the Land Army. She was under 5" and weighed 86 Isa & George were my Aunt & Uncle. I am the son of Andrew Thomson, George's brother. I'm in Scotland on a road trip & would love to track down Billy or Irene + My late husband John Bremner grew up at 68 Big Vennel with his grandparents and his aunt Jean Bremner. I wondered what happened to the house. I'm not sure but the one on the left might be my dad, Ivor Ross. Hard to tell. #31 is definitely Ivor Ross (my dad) Daniel Hossack I believe was my great grandfather. My father was Donald Hossack D.O.B. 03.08.1935 lived in the rd called The Big Fennal. I think these are Youngs. Gentleman on left is either Jim or Jack Young and I think the couple to the right could be my father's grandparents. The other lady a I believe my Dad was rescued by the crew of the Cromarty lifeboat in the late 1950s. The crew rescued the men from the MV Servus. Can anyone give me further pa I was born in the Cottage Hospital in Cromarty on 1st August 1953. My Mother Iris and Grandmother Dolly came from Beauly and grew up with John Hendry Hercher and Polly Hercher. I came over in 71 and traveled with the shows a RAF Boat 2770 was a Vosper 68ft Rescue & Target Towing Launch Mk.
