Eric worked on Radio City in 1965. Before turning to broadcasting, he had worked in photography and he took a camera with him on his visits to the fort. He says “The prints and negatives have remained in a box untouched for all these years. I decided they may be of interest to others after getting involved in computers and finding the pirate radio web sites.” We are very grateful to him. |
