Some years after leaving Shell I attended an Open University summer school. It transpired there was another ex-Shell R/O present and the lecturer, an elderly Irish gentleman, on hearing us sharing anecdotes in relation to the 'Acavus' came over. 'I was also on the Acavus.' 'Deckie, Clankie or Sparks?', I asked. 'No, none of those: I flew fighters off her!' Nothing tops that. |
