Vikki, why did you put all those mostly blurry photos on here without a clue as to where they were taken.
The Bahamas has nothing to do with this board.

Norman, my Dad either worked for Reyrolles or got the contracts abroad through Reyrolles. Tale as old as time, people travel fall in love and so on. There's many albums to scan. Yesterday's batch were ones I could not get out of the albums and I'm doing it from my phone, limited eyesight, limited time. We celebrate people who have done well for themselves. My Dad was a little lad from Tynemouth Road, born in Felling, lost his Dad when he was 2 to the war. His Dad was a Royal Marine. My Dad is now a retired author and historian, still living in the Bahamas as its where he settled. He was a local sportsman back in the day and participated in sport or coached. A few board members have enjoyed his writing and sports connection. It was a contribution to the board from a local contributor, nothing more, nothing less. I have always shared my finds freely. The clue was in the title, Reyrolles/ sports related. There will be more. As and when I have time, I will pad it out with better tales, and hopefully better quality pictures.

I'm a great believer of "the moral of the story is" be kind, not everything stands the test of time, particularly old photos in albums!

I'm not sure where the top photo was taken, it is Reyrolles related but may be in Africa or here.

The theatrical ones are here, Reyrolles events/theatre.

The fourth one down features Norman Fowler, probably around 1987 when he was Sec of State for Employment and the regions.

Vikki,
This board is called Hebburn and our Neighbours.
Its not the one you closed down in 2016.
A photo of a MP Norman Fowler shaking hands with someone taken anywhere in the country is not for my board. A Bahamas newspaper clipping is not for the board.
If you want info on particular photos do it properly ie a decent size scan and a clue to where it was taken.

Totally agree with what you say Mr Dunn.
I was a regular visitor to Mr Ellison's website that she inherited then she spitefully closed. It took 2 years to find this Forum but how many have never found it.
