These rare photos are from the collection of Don Pierson, founder of Radio England and Britain Radio. They have been kindly donated to The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame by Grey Pierson, Don's son. Many of them were taken on a day when a number of singing stars were visiting the ship. Our thanks to Grey. |
