In reply to: Mohammed Salikur Rahman 's message, "passports" on 27/04/08 12:53am

Joined the British merchant navy in 1965.Didn't have a passport as I initially signed on in Liverpool or Birkenhead.Discharge book was enough,even in China,which was very up tight in those days!Only obtained a passport when I started flying out to join ships as it made life easier.I have flown,a number of times,to join ships using my discharge book alone.Never encounted any serious problems apart from the(unavoidable)jobsworth immigration official(normally at airports)who had to be educated as to what a Discharge book was,being totally ignorant of things maritime.Worst experiences I've had have been with the "little Hitlers" in the US immigration service>Alan
