A Paisley sailor is back on dry land after a secretive operation to try and get him to crew a ferry run by crisis-hit P&O.
Gavin Hamilton revealed he was taken on a mystery coach trip to an unknown boat as P&O attempted to replace staff it had just fired on the spot.
But when Gavin realised what was going on, he refused the board the ship, the Cairnryan-based European Highlander.
