XJ723 has been kindly donated, by Brian Dixon, to Morayvia at Kinloss, Moray where it is currently lying at Spey Bay before coming to Morayvia to be, hopefully, restored. It's in a very poor condition but it does have history in that it was involved in the Sea Gem rig disaster. The crew on this occasion received bravery awards including a George Medal for the Winchman, John Reeson RIP. |
