The Ferry Zenobia sunk on his way between Italy and Syria 1980

Ferdy

I remember a driver, forgot his name but he did alternated trips with his dad in a Fiat called Taytrans (think). He was on the Zenobia when it went down, he had something like chicken pox at the time so they put him in a life raft on his own, last time I saw him he was in a F10

Chris Taylor, a friend of mine from Tunbridge Wells. I did an Iraq with him in his Iveco in Jan 1979. We took a water pump to Tikrit. A good fellow. I used to see him around the town when I worked at Promotors but I can’t remember when I last saw him in TW. Never bumped into him on the road but then I only did one or sometime two Baghdads each year. Quite a bit of Commie bloc and in around 1985-6 back and forward to Moscow all winter.

I think the Royal Navy airlifted him from his raft because someone said he had small pox. It was chicken pox. The navy doctor gave him some Calamine and sent him on his way slightly miffed they’d done an air rescue for a chicken pox victim.
