Ball park figure £50 a day to start
9 hour day, -1 hour for breaks x 6 days = 48 hours = £300
You were lucky!!!!
A light line and a flat spanner were my tools, if I had gone and spent my hard earned at leaches when it was a cheap tool shop in New Cross I would not have been able to wear them, public humiliation was normal, Done a lot of cradle/boswains chair work when I started so I was coiling ropes, light lines, straightening wire bonds and avoiding fittings I sent up that did not work
loved every minute of it
