Sorry to read the passing of Ian Johnston a Tees pilot, a genial Scotsman whom I used to meet with on a regular basis. Always had a God craic about messing about on the river and seagoing days.
He was also a very lucky man when along with another Pilot fortunately managed to decant from the "Lairdsfield" pre the Gares when unfortunately the vessel rolled over Crossing the Bar with the loss of all her Crew. Smooth sailing Ian.
