Remember I’m here in NZ, and not been ‘home’ regularly for ages…
Alf Wilkie (my Cuz, BTW), Tony (Shoey) Cooke?, Ray Tabern, Mick McTigue, erm?, Tommy Martyn, Dessie, Phil Fox, John Woods, Terry Bilsbury, Steve Donlan, Mick Hogan, Kenny Green.
Every single one of them's a bloody hero to me an my generation, with memories of Whitehaven, and Oily Johnnies on the way there and back…!!
Great memories. Thanks lads!!
Sad images of the old girl. Sorely missed.
Kia Kaha, fella's!!

Yeah I was standing with him when it came down the other day and I could have cried for him, it was very sad, "the end of an era" he said. And also that he was there to see it go up and he was there to see it come down - very poignant!
