While sorting through his photos, Guy came across two contact sheets of pictures of Radio 270. They date from before he joined the station and he can't remember how they came into his possession. It is possible that Managing Director Wilf Proudfoot gave them to him. As they pre-date Guy's time with Radio 270, we asked Noel Miller to help put names to any of the faces that Guy couldn't identify. Noel's comments are in red. Our thanks to both of them. The original pictures are very small and dark. We have enlarged and lightened them but the quality is not great. Some photos have been ticked to indicate that they were approved for use. |

Some of the crew. “The one on the left I don't remember, next to him is the radio tech/engineer (can't remember his name), the short guy in the
cap is Gordon and next to him is Tommy Haylett who later came to Oz and worked on the oil rigs in Bass Strait.”

“The original Dutch captain. He didn't speak English - in fact he hardly spoke at all - but he was the best skipper we had while I was there.”
