Very ocasionally MH can write sence. His problem is diversions from the main subject. Over the past 10 years or so the promises of a book appearing are filled with excuses and explanations for non completion. It is irrelevant if you are (or are not) gifted to be an academic. I do not believe in academic snobbery. Peter Moore's history of the formation of Radio Caroline is inaccurate. To say one person and his friends co-ordinated everything is ludicrous. Every offshore radio station from Radio Mercur to SRE/Britain Radio had multiple experienced people involved. From the original Radio Mercur blueprint how to do it, to the Radio Caroline extreme version (to shield investors identities) and have a figurehead. The investors money which was gathered in the UK, went to an offshore company, which distributed the money to other offshore companies to buy and register the boat, buy the transmitters, aerial, studio equipment and generators. The final offshore company handled the advertising receipts and payments for the running costs. Everything could be done from the UK or Eire via telex. The most well known (and last to be formed) is Planet Productions Ltd. It was just an agency for advertising and productions of programmes. Ronan O'rahilly was in charge of the programming side,publicity, souvenirs and the Caroline Club, with his friends. Jocelyn Stevens appointed Michael Parkin to head sales. The office administration at 6 Chesterfield Gardens up to April 1965 was shambolic until Barry Ainley took over as General Manager. It is now time to eliminate the remainder of the inaccuracies (mainly circulating from the early 1990's. There are more truths (especially in interviews and articles) pre 1975. I have been a Radio Caroline listener for decades and congratulate everyone for still keeping it on the air today in its various formats. Scottg
