The above photographs were all taken on MV Dilwara, 4th February 1959 (0530), Port Said, port engine.
The group photo was taken on Christmas Day 1966 at sea in the Officers Bar which was called the 'GRIFF INN' after, I believe the Captain who was serving onboard at the time of the Bars conversion and whose surname was Griffin. If that is not true I'm sure there is someone out there who will tell me otherwise!
