Dear All,I was an engineer oeficfr with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (UK) for many years and am now retired from the service. I took up writing some years ago, firstly recording myt childhood being brought up on a Thame spritsail barge during the period 1950-78. It has been followed by two sailing books about the rivers and creeks of the Thames estuary interlinking history and what can be seen now based around a skipper and mate. A further book is due for publication in 2012. Google nick ardley' to see.Request: I am in need of a couple of photographs of the yachting around the club during the early 1980s when I spent a fair amount of time on a ship in Mombasa. I sailed a Star class (?) dinghy in a race owned by a retired gentleman, and I spent many happy hours on a little gaff cutter which was then owned by the seafarers mission padre. I think she was a Blackwater class or could have been a Deben 4 tonner.Does anyone have pictures of this period that they would allow me to use in my nest book? They will be used in a chapter about sailing in other places Good digital copies of a minimum of 1 Mb would be great.I still have a burgee which was presented to me at the time!I look forward to hearing from any of you.Best wishes,Nick Ardley
