Well not really as someone else must have been there to take this wonderful photo loaned to us by Eric Johnson. It looks so calm and peaceful away from the noise and the dirt of the steel wotks on the cliff top. 

Colin Hart tells us: ”the picture is Dereck(Midge)Purver on his boat Lynn. I spent many hours along with his son Brian fishing and potting on the same boat.”

Thanks to Colin for the update.

Another one of Eric Johnson’s photographs of Carlin how gala, some of the names are from left to right Brian Cook, Brian Lightfoot, Barry Lancaster, Alan Dale, Colin Cook, John Welford, Jacky Noble, Billy May, Ronnie Cook. Do you know the missing names?
