Fare thee well Mark

Post by Silkie »

Another milestone in the Dunstaffnage story as Mark leaves to continue his career in a less prestigious west coast facility. :nod:

I well remember him as a fresh-faced youth clambering into Silkie's cockpit with a spirit level and a jug of water on the occasion of our first lift out at Dunstaffnage while he was still studying for his Doctorate of Slippage under Tim's expert tutelage.

All the best Mark.

Dunstaffnage is the jewel in the crown IMHO.

You got a problem with that? :moon:

Here here

Good luck to Mark with his new employment, thats quite a few very good people left now.....

I remember coming into Dunstaffnage in a big blow with a very tight gap to get into, they were all there Tim, Mark, sean & jo plus a few others, to take our ropes in horrible conditions, smiles & laughter all round.

I have no doubts he will be an asset to his new employers, god knows they need a few
