Haskins G Lt   1948-49   THE SURVEY SHIPS ASSOCIATION MEMBERS
I am listed as being in Scott 1948-49, which was the at start of my nearly 40 year career as a hydrographic surveyor in the RN, the RNZN, and the offshore oil and gas industry until I finally retired in 1987.  Thus I have a special place in my memory bank for Scott as being my surveying "nursery".

SENIOR Bryan Radio Electrical Artificer 4th Class   1952 - 53  
 I served on this survey ship during the above years as the Radio Electrical Artificer responsible for the Radar & radio equipment onboard.
As there was not very much electronics to maintain I spent most of the time logging data for the survey groups eg sextant readings, sea depth and type of sea bed. 
With my next promotion I had to leave the ship and return to normal RN duties.
