I am trying to find an old friend from Malta, Antionette Bonello, who I haven’t seen since the 1980s.
We both used to work on a Greek liner (S.S. Australis) that carried the famous ‘Ten Pound Poms’ from the UK to Australia in the 1960s and 1970s. She was in London after working on the ship for a while but could have come home to Malta by now,
Antionette Bonello would be in her mid-50s to early 60s. She didn’t go out with anyone as far I remember on the ship, and she wasn’t married or with anyone in the 1980s when I met her for about 10 minutes or so in London. I just hope she hasn’t passed away after all this time. My telephone number is: 01305 782741and my e-mail address is ken.ironside@zetnet.co.uk
There is a Facebook page for the ship we worked on and none of the other crew members that remember her have heard anything from her. In September I am coming to Malta on a cruise ship for five or six hours so it would be great to meet up if possible.
