Capn Pugwash raises some good points about Radio in the late 80s. Personally I thought Coast was innovative and original when it started on AM in Kent, and Breeze in Essex equally refreshing and both services almost complimented each other. So much better than the Gold offering from Capital at the time. Essex FM was vastly superior to Invicta FM at that time. Whilst poor old Caroline was on its arse in every respect.

Sad too that no look out was on hand the night of the grounding. It would not have surprised me if a mixture of depression hyperthermia drove the crew to their beds to gain solice in a dark hostile and dangerous environment hoping the following day might bring something positive. There was no chance....
