Page 1 of 1

For our 2009 transmission we've been allocated 87.7 MHz

Even though this year we're ashore we'll be maintaining our nautical links based at our Tendering Port Whitstable Harbour

The Middle Sands Beacon, deceptive but 1.5 nautical miles from Red Sands

Not unusual, a stiff breeze cutting across the Thames Estuary making sea horses

Tender 'gingerly' approaches Fort as the tide turns

Kevin Turner lingering lower level

Viewed from the top door way, seas have abated

Fancy a Bath whilst you're aboard?

The X-Pilot approaching having laid off in the Swale

A hearty wave goodbye

To wrap up some pictures taken on the final evening broadcasts of Red Sands Radio by James Day

The last visitors Tender arrives at the Fort late on Friday 13th July

James Day & his daughter Jenny enjoy the spectacular night views from the top of the Gun Tower

James comes & has a word in the studio during the last programme

A solemn moment, the last few minutes before the Tender leaves Skipper Alan & James Day's daughter Jenny

Time for a beer the sun's over the yard arm

Remember a million & one Seagulls can't be wrong

The Tender leaves shortly after our Chief Engineer Peter Chicago turns off the TX
