Re: Herman de Graaf’s photo albums from the MV Mi Amigo (1977–79)

Really enjoyed looking through these pictures. That era is etched into my memory as I was just a school boy who loved listening to the radio stations coming from that ship out at sea only around 15 miles from where I lived at that time in North east Essex. It was a mystery to me how they could broadcast so much radio from that comparatively small ship - two radio stations for most of the time on two frequencies. I admit to listening mainly to Radio Mi Amigo as they just played popular music and had loads of jingles which were just great fun. Marc Jacobs was my favourite DJ who features in a lot of those pictures. They have cleaned up really well and show amazing clarity. It's a sad that the ship was just rotting away and falling apart as you get a strong sense of the amazing atmosphere on that ship. Thanks for sharing them.
