Radio London's 50th anniversary celebrations

Radio London's fiftieth birthday was on 23rd December 2014. To celebrate, Chris and Mary Payne of the Radio London website organised a gathering on The Tattershall Castle, a floating pub on a ship moored by the Embankment in central London.
 
Sadly a number of the Big L stars are no longer with us or are in poor health; others live abroad; and, just two days before Christmas, some had other commitments; but it was very good to meet up with some legendary names from offshore radio's most successful station.
 
Many thanks to Chris and Mary for organising the event and for inviting The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame.

Keith Skues, who joined Radio London in May 1966, and Pete Brady, the Breakfast Show presenter on day one.	Ian Damon, the penultimate DJ to join Big L, he boarded the Galaxy in June 1967.
Duncan Johnson, who joined Radio London in February 1965, and engineer Dave Hawkins.	Ship's steward Mitch Philistin was a favourite with the DJs and listeners.
