Who were the DJ's on the boats? I recognise Johnnie on Caroline, but who are the others?
On Big L I think there was Ed Stewart, Paul Kay and Keith Skues. Who were the others?

Hmm, it seems the 2 finger salute was very popular then!
What wonderful footage from a time long gone, and sadly never to return.
I used to love listening to the pirates at around the time this film was taken.
It was all so exciting! You felt as though you musn't switch off the tranny just in case you missed something.
The music was brilliant at the time, so if you switched off you probably would!! You might missThe Kinks latest single, or the 10th play of Happy Jack!. SO FAB!!

Excellent footage and thanks for posting. It is so good to see the old girl looking in fine trim and still in her Radio Nord trim.
Thank you.
Have you considered sending this to the National Sound Archive, they would really appreciate this:-)

Thanks for the comments - we've got a plan to add a voice over to this sometime soon by someone very much involved with the Pirate Radio scene of the 60s.
