Hi Elliott and Sue Command control training engineers, eh... You really were called in at the right time 2 trains and two marine boats yey. I hear on occasions some calls coming in on VHS 16 when out on the sea kayaking. Anyway cornwall holiday done and managed 5 youtube video not sure if you've seen them but some fab news one vide got over 1.6k views so yes massive smile on my face I bet you have had it in the early days. I'm now in Kefalonia not sure if I will be on a kayak here but it's possible. Might do a video from top of mount Anos ? I'm chuffed you are back with a great video I love the radio side of things so much so I'm now pressing on with my amateur radio stuff. See how it goes... Have fun stay safe Kev the brinklow kayaker

Hello from Kansas! Glad to see you guys out and about! That was a cool video, and I was completely shocked when I heard the chugging of a steam locomotive! I was like "what the heck", then it pulled into view!!! You just can't beat a steam locomotive! The history of the Preston Docklands is pretty cool. I wonder what they were doing with submarines there. Refueling and replenishing I'd assume. Thanks! Richard

Awww, thanks Dan, that’s a lovely message to receive!! We’ve just been incredibly busy, and lucky really. The consultancy work was originally for 2 months but it didn’t take them too long to work out what a clever cookie Sue is and they realised they couldn’t do without her so they’ve extended the work and extended it and extended it again - it’s keeping us both incredibly busy but of course it’s nice to have the work! It’s Bank Holiday Monday here (08:30) and we’re off out working already. It was the same yesterday (Sunday of course) and Saturday, but when you work for yourself you just have to get the job done!

I'm 68 now and remember when the River Ribble was still being dredged to keep it navigable for the ships going into the Docks. The silt and sand was piled up on the banks further down towards the estuary. It was called little Blackpool because of the sand. I've had walks down there with my Grandad. He once found a fisherman's chest and took it to the Dock master office to claim the salvage. Further up towards the dock itself were the remains of concrete boats which were built as experiments during the first world war. Russian timber ships would dock and it was possible to buy russian vodka. As the sailors weren't allowed off the ship they would lower bottles down in baskets the recipient would test the quality by lighting to check the colour of the flame and when happy take the bottle and put the agreed money in the basket. New Years was special all the ships would have Xmas trees on top of their masts and at the stroke of midnight the hooters would sound. It's all gone now and just memories.

To say Preston was once a thriving commercial port. For the last twenty years, perhaps thirty years or more, since the port closed and the dredging stopped, the Ribble has been an awful navigation. That's not by any means to say I didn't appreciate your presentation.
