Yep rainham rec, not the first time we dry docked her, I am the crane driver in this shot but was also the dry dock pump man

The floating pumping station at Rainham was known as the reclamation unit in 1963. I worked on the pipe fabrication as an apprentice for Harland & Wolff at North Woolwich, although I was based at Tilbury Docks.
Two other persons on that job were Freddie Tomlin from Tilbury and Peter Caple from Chadwell-St.-Mary.
