Is it Robert Thomson from Towerhouse?

Looking in the books 'Cox's Navy' & ' The Man who Bought A Navy' it sorta looks like Sinclair Mackenzie, who in one of books said he was the last diver to detect life aboard the doomed sub H.M.S Thetis in 1939. Only a guess though!

Is it Arthur Nundy Alan, I have just been reading his account o his life at the salvage work, very straight talk no frills as only old Arthur could do!!.

Yep looks like the very man i used to know when he was staying in aberdeen,before he passed away.
Even did a job for him in the isle of coll,
Great man to be around and listen too.

The phot is definitely not Sinclair MacKenzie - he was my father's close friend. The comment about him and the Thetis submarine is correct though.

This is def Arthur Nundy, bonny looking lad in his day, Could listen to him all day and night the stories were something else and a very clever man,to boot, and his good lady also
