NAVIGARE NECESSE EST, VIVERE NON EST NECESSE
To sail is necessary, to survive is not necessary.
Attributed by Plutarch to Gnaeus Pompeius who sent sailors to sea in bad weather to bring grain from Africa to Rome.
ANTONY ALAN DOUBLEDAY 1944 - 2009
In Memoriam
The unforgettable Dubber died accidentally on a retirement holiday in 2009.
In this mid-seventies picture he paces out rough ground for colleague Norman Kay at the wheel of Scania 110 VHX678G. They are following the eccentric yacht builder Paddy Power across fields near Wolverhampton, to deliver his unusual PISCES 1 to Gloucester Docks.
Dubber was irrepressible, ingenious, brave and resourceful, a great driver, a good debater and a damned good union man. We miss him.
