I enjoyed this program the most so far as I was in Sorrento last
September. The Astor garden, which he entered via the green automatic
gates, had blue ipomoea growing over the wall by those gates. I took
a photo of it. He was obviously there earlier in the year. Little
did I know what was behind that wall!

Did you go on Sorrento Jet whilst you were there?

Went to Capri but not on the Sorrento Jet!

The company I worked for, FBM Marine Ship Builders at Cowes, had built
Capri Jet before I joined them. My wife was PA to the MD when it was
commissioned and she doesn't remember me fetching her and driving her home
;-) The wine flowed!!!!

I was their Marine Electrical Design Engineer later when FMB built
Sorrento Jet and I oversaw the building and attended trials. Her final
yard trial was a 2 hour run at full speed. Went round the Isle of Wight
with some time spare ;-)



FMB :-( ? FBM !
