Hello, Mike Finding here

I am the one guilty of starting up the Dunera website you are looking at now!

Many thanks for visiting and it has really been an eyeopener to see how many people knew the Dunera from the various eras that it was involved in.

The site started after a discussion YEARS ago with Mr David Matthews when he told me he had travelled on the ship. David’s story is right here on this link. You will also see another story of a friend of David’s; Norman’s Trip.

David emigrated to Canada, now at last he says, a Canadian citizen. He married a lovely lady from Canada who was nursing over here…. David’s business A to Z Illusions, Alphabet Photography, Letter Art Gifts, is a superb business and his site lets you create words from photographs for gifts and mementos.

Ok – WHY is this post here and what is it all about?

A LOT of years ago we were introduced to a lot of great people and products that have helped us to stay well and really grow older in a great way!! I have more energy and just feel great at 65 – more so than I EVER did as a 30 year old! I have recently been playing drums in a VERY energetic rock / reggae band (11 years in total!!). Three gig weekends and I can still get up on a Monday morning in good fettle!

SO – if I may be so bold, I thought that most / many people visiting this site could well be similar age to me and my lady? I thought that a newsletter would be a better way to pass on information to people who WANT to hear it than add posts on the site and irritate those who are NOT interested!

Help for better energy, better sleep, less aches and pains as well as help for diabetes and arthritis – with MUCH MORE.

There is a free report on the first email and if you sign up you can find out what ever you wish. You can unsubscribe at ANY time, but the information just may be a good help for you and people you care about….

On my other website there is a signup form on this link – name & email address. That’s all and these details will NOT be abused in ANY way.

Hope you find this of interest

Very best to you

Does anyone remember when the Dunera became the original Club 18-30 cruise ship in the sixties…..actually it was for 18 to 21 year old’s. Onboard we had the Formost pop group on board to entertain us. An amazing time was had by everyone.

  Hello Glyn
  
  Apologies for a late reply – thank you for your question here – I hope you can get an answer.
  
  Once again I say – contact from people who are “connected” to Dunera is what keeps the site interesting and lively!!
  
  Very best to you

    Hello Glynn and Mike,
    
    My father was serving onboard the Dunera during the 1960’S as a “Maintainence Engineer (3rd Engineer)”, I remember having the “Formost” visiting our house during this time as my father had made friends with the group during this period.
    
    I particularly recall, my auntie, stitching “extra long shirt sleeves” into “Billy’s” (lead singer) shirts, because they were performing the “You need hands” song at the local cabaret club “Fiesta” at Stockton on Tees.
    
    I also have the “Formost” record album (vinyl) signed by the members of the band. I also have several other interesting “Dunera” memorabilia, including the “Dunera” heavyweight shield, which has Brittania Trident cast in brass on an Aluminium shield, that I believe was located within the “Engine Room”, photographs will be available for prospective purchasers of this memorobelia, please respond here.

Hi There:

Just found your website—absolutely fascinating. I was on two Dunera cruises as a schoolboy, Christmas 1964 to Greece and Israel, and August 1965 to Sweden and Russia (with side trip to Moscow). I still remember the great times and I still have the photos from the trip!

I would very much like to contact anyone on those trips. Dick Jackson—are you still around?
