Radio Ship On Fire! - the FULL broadcast of RNI - '71

I once MET Alan West. Of course, I asked him about that fateful night and he said he couldn't remember a thing. I said, "Right, I understand. You must get fed up being asked..." He said, "No, really. I LITERALLY can't remember it. My mind has blocked it out. I listen to the recording and it's like it's someone else." Hell of a thing. The theme he is playing is also on this channel (in clear) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HVne4upl78

It was, I thought, in april/may 1971. The bomb was placed by some Scheveningers. It was in dedication from Bull Verwey, the director of Radio Veronica. Bull Verwey was for this criminal by justice placed in prison for one year. Also the Scheveningers. This was the fact that the Netherlands gouverment decised to closedown the pirateradio. That happenend august 1974. Why it took so long ???? The Netherlands gouverment was replaced in this time, I thought, for two times.

Fantastic piece of radio. How awful to have a fire raging while being surrounded by billions of gallons of water!

@ChrisJBrady It was their only way to get help from the outside-world...

I have heard this live in 1971. Great radio!

@ChrisJBrady - It was their THEME! I think Alan was running on auto-pilot and used a "musical bed" for the emergency broadcast out of HABIT!

Unforgettable.
