ALINDA went to breakers shortly after this photo was taken. Hence - no doubt - the paint job . . . or lack of it!

I think it was called Flintkote out here in NZ, and it was used as a roof and floor covering; and as a protectant for vehicle chassis.

Anyone remember that black paint called PF4 that Shell doled out in 45 gallon drums?
Pity about the bad paint state.

Not so good looking from this angle however. For good looking tankers the Common Brothers original "Border" class - operated on behalf of BP - are very hard to beat.

The Shell A-class were very modern looking tankers when first introduced. There were 17 of them

In my opinion these were the best looking tankers ever built. Sailed in Amastra myself.
