These are the original photo albums of Herman de Graaf from the period 1977 to 1979, made available by a close acquaintance of Herman’s. Due to their often poor quality, the photographs have been carefully restored using AI. Some of the photographs were apparently taken by Rob Hudson (Ruud Hendriks) and other colleagues whilst Herman was working at Radio Mi Amigo and Radio Caroline. As a result, there is some overlap with Ben Meijering’s selection. We would be grateful if any previously unidentified faces could be identified. Some photographs show the radio ship in a very poor state of repair in early 1978. After that, an attempt was made – at least using plenty of buckets of MEBO (!) paint – to give the ‘Lady’ a better appearance.
