On Links 2 E mail from siteviewers and PHOTOS from the Borkum Riff 4 on the Isle of Borkum

What about this ghost ship Norderney on the Veronica page, have a look at the whole photo:

The Norderney in Groningen harbour in 1994. I took this photo from a bridge next to the canal were

the ship was for about a year to undergo another restoration as a socalled disco ship.

Look Boden wrote and asked if we could add his name to some photos on the Radio England page.

Look was deejay during 66 and 67 for Radio Dolfijn and 227. The photos Look made during this period

are: Olga now renamed into Laissez Faire, deck of the ship and high voltage aerial box and tender Offshore 1

Hey there:
Just wanted to say how much I'd enjoyed your page.
Can't understand why I haven't stumbled on it before!

I'm a big fan of the fort based stations, and
fascinated in their history etc. Very rare I see
something "new," but you'd got some great photographs
there, and that memo from Dorothy
Calvert...fascinating! I'd love to know what the
tracks she objected to were. Well, I guess when Q65
arrived on the fort she got the "fast moving" music
she wanted!

I was wondering if you had any photographs relating to
radio Invicta-- I'd love to see a decent photo of Tom
Pepper. The only one I have is in Hans' "Red Sands
Rendezvous," but I'm sure there must be more out there
somewhere.

Anyway, congrats on a great site. And y'know, a Radio
City RSL would be great! Bet Bob le Roi would be up
for out. Doubt Paul Elvey would show up though!

Regards,
Shaun Brennan

So, if anyone has a ,, decent"photo of Tom Pepper, founder of Radio Invicta in 1964, please

August 20,1989. The day after the day before. Dutch boarding party back in Schevening from a fishing

party on the North Sea. Fine gentlemen indeed, but how wrong they were, they couldn't kill the big fish.

Thanks to Leendert Vingerling.

the beautiful Wadden isle Borkum.

Lightvessel Borkum Riff in Borkum harbour, summer 2002. The ship was built in 1955 by Norderwerft

Koser & Meyer Hamburg Germany. This vessel was the successor of the famous Borkum Riff 3, the

ship we know as Radio Veronica's first radio ship between 1960 and 1964.

The number 4 was on position between March 1965 and July 1988 some 30 miles north of Borkum.

Since 1989 she is a museum ship.

Specification of the vessel.

The vessel has a permanent place in this harbour and once every year she is taken out for a trip at

sea by members of the former crew.

the 20 meter high lighttower with a power of 1500 Watt can be seen from a distance of 21 miles.

The man on the gang-board is a volunteer, who stays on the ship for a year.

Welcome onboard.

The bell on the left is the original shipsbell, I forgot to ask why there is a second bell.

What is it they are looking at?

Indeed, the ship's engine, or rather 4 engines,each 100 hp. That makes 400 hp, not much for a vesselof this size, but the engines were only used once every 4 years for a trip to Emden for maintenance.
