Thank you very much, much appreciated. In the minds of the Keepers that washed,dusted and polished these lenses from way back in History, and up until our redundancy days, yes indeed, but obviously not to our bosses that left them get into the grimey state that I've seen on some of the automatic lights. But then I'm very biased! Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoy my videos. Cheers and take care.

Thank you very much, much appreciated. Yes that lens and clockwork were special. On the trinity house website they say that the lens was removed in 2017 and replaced with a 2 LED set up. No mention of where the lens went or the clockwork? Hope they are in a safe place. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you for the info, glad you enjoyed your Holiday.Congratulations to your Sister. Take care, all the best.

Thank you very much. And yes a beautiful location, a great place to go to work. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much David. Yes, I guess it was that era of twin tubs, or the fact that the water useage could be controlled better maybe? Cheers again and take care.

Thank you very much. Glad you are enjoying them. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much, take care.

Thank you very much, much appreciated. Cheers and take care.

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoy the videos. Cheers and take care.

Thank you very much. Trinity House Green was indeed what we knew it as, not sure of the correct name though! Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you and yes another piece of History gone. Stay safe.

Hi, this job is no longer available in this country. The only way to get to a Lighthouse out to sea would be as a Technician etc that go out to do maintenance jobs. You have to google Trinity House london and see if there are any openings.

Thank you ever so much for your very kind comments. So glad you found my channel. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much. So glad my video reached someone like you. I too love the sea in all its moods. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I was upset that my bosses were going hell for leather to rip apart and automate these lighthouses, plus get rid of us Keepers, and nobody seemed interested in preserving anything of our fast dissapearing job/way of life. That was basically the driving force to somehow record something before it was lost forever. Thanks again, and stay safe.

Thank you very much, much appreciated. Glad you liked it. Cheers and take care.

Thank you ever so much for those kind comments. You certainly challenged yourself and overcame a lot, respect man, really, respect. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you, yes it was my dream job too. Cheers and take care.

@@PeterHalil excellent video and documentary! You had a very interesting job.

@@Twobarpsi Yes, it was one of those jobs, that apart from the watches, was different in some way, most days.

Thank you, glad you are enjoying the videos. Cheers and stay safe.

Judging by the memories of the Keepers that served there, I would have to agree. Cheers and safe fishing.

Hi, In my era of helicopters, they dropped underslung rubberized fuel bags onto the helipad, and once connected to the appropriate valve, they were gravity fed down to the tanks. They did the same with water which had different connections, so you couldn't have any mistakes. Cheers and take care.

@@PeterHalil thanks for the information sir

Hi, and thank you very much. I would, in a heartbeat, be a Lighthouse Keeper again. Even more so now, in these crazy times we are in. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you ever so much for your kind comments. I do try to respond to the comments, but You Tube doesn't always notify me or even allow me to respond, as a few definitely vanish in the system. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much, much appreciated. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much. Yes, if I had time, and the fog horn was still there, I tried to get it in on the videos. Cheers and take care.

On the top flight, most Keepers would use both. That is by not using the handrails, just the steps, as we had to polish them!. Cheers and take care.

Thank you very much. I've no idea about the lens. I too hope they look after it properly. Stay safe.

I wish, no, it was an added commentary, not rich! Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much. I just hope that they preserved it as is and haven't ripped it apart. Cheers and take care.

Thank you very much. I was pondering the same as I was looking at a lot of paint peeling off the tower internal walls. And that with people living inside, keeping it warm etc. Cheers and stay safe.

Thanks for that Barrie. A lot has been said about that Lighthouse Mystery, but I tend to believe that the seas took those men. Cheers and stay safe.

Thanks, and yes a very nice fog horn cheers. Take care.

Hi, there were some sort of secret orders in case of wars I guess, but that was above my pay grade.

You're welcome, a nice sound.

Thank you too.

Thank you very much, much appreciated. I just got annoyed that we were being made redundant and it seemed like nobody was interested in preserving our way of life in any form for the future. So, I got a video camera, and started to record as much as possible, it started slowly, then kind of snowballed. Thanks again, Cheers and stay safe.

We were given a subsidy yes, for being out on these Lighthouses, so that paid for your food. I kept journals towards the end in which I tried to log everything, including my food lists. The way that I did my food was basically, 28 breakfasts, 28 dinners and 28 tea or evening meals. Also did extras incase of not getting off on time. This was, what I would eat normally at home. So once you had broken it down like that, you then did vegetable shopping, meat shopping etc. Once onboard you seperated your meats and put them in the freezer. Vegetables etc stored in a window or in cardboard boxes somewhere. You also took several cans of veg etc for when your veg ran out of its shelf life. Cheers and take care.You were a careful shopper, if you forgot something, then you didn't get to eat that thing.

@@PeterHalil thank you so much for the reply so interesting on a way of life that no longer exists any more

Yes I'm afraid that they are all automated in this country, cheers.

The Bishop Rock was a double Height lens, really huge.

Sorry, the answer would be no to that. If you get a job, you go out with a very small team.

@@PeterHalil then bachelor are best ....any leave there

Hi Erik, Thank you very much and welcome to my channel. I'm afraid that when we were all made redundant, then that was it. We all had to find alternative employment, wherever we could. We were all offered retraining, but not for within the Lighthouse service. so quite a shock to a lot of us. Cheers and stay safe.
