Yes Ian, I also remember it very well - I was living in a Mobile home in those days. I remember the dire weather the next day! My work-mates thought I had a death in the family, I was so sad !
About 5 weeks after the sinking, I was getting Caroline Short-wave under way, Naughty boy that I was in those days .
It was actually a good year for me on a personal level - I moved into my brand new home in the July of that year. The Studio, that was situated in my garden shed, was also moved into the new home, too.
Funny to think, dear old Barry James STILL does his shows in a garden shed Previous Message
Would love to make it, but it would mean an overnight and I have used my holiday entitlement for the year! (Refreshed end of this month).
Really enjoyed Rob’s series on Yesterday and hope there will be a follow up.
There used to be a supporters meeting in Leeds and I attended a few, but that must have been 10 years ago.
Enjoy the special night, I still remember what I was doing that night in 1980! Previous Message
Rob Howard from the Vintage TV and Wireless Company in Norwich is special guest at a special Mi Amigo commemorative meeting of the 648 Group on Wednesday 19 March. The meeting remembers Caroline’s pirate radio ship, which sank in heavy seas 45 years ago to the day. You may have seen Rob in an episode of his show Retro Electro Workshop on Yesterday TV a couple of years ago, when he was filmed making studio repairs on board Ross Revenge
Go along and meet a host of Radio Caroline and Caroline Flashback DJs and take part in a Mi Amigo-themed quiz. There's also the chance to buy a special commemorative t-shirt, only available at the meeting.
Everyone is welcome at Mr G’s Bowling Centre, Market Hill, Brandon, Suffolk IP27 0AA. The evening starts at 7pm and entry is a £5 donation including buffet. Bar, raffle and free parking. Overnight accommodation at the venue.
Sadly, Mr G’s is closing its doors next week, but this meeting will go ahead as planned
