Intresting to see DONALD MACLEOD
there. Piscatoril 11 is a ship we have been looking for.
Just up the road from me in a cemetary there is a momument put up by the men of the Auxiallary Patrol which honers men of HMT Borneo,HMT Balfour and the drifter Piscatorial 11,young Donald Mcleod is on it.
We know where Balfour is and positivley identified Borneo last year but still looking for Piscatorial 11.
HMT Borneo will be in a dive magazine in the not to distant future and i will be hoping the picture of the memorial will be featured.
