4. Encounter with a Floating Mine
"In 1943 I started to fish under the guidance of Mr Dan Domaille, a very experienced fisherman. During the war it was always difficult to fuel our engines. This work fulfilled an essential function as it provided food for a starving population when, it is reported, even dogs were eaten. Sixty percent of its catch was comandeered by the occupying forces". Read by author Royston Raymond.
3. Ernest 'Bender' Audrin
"Ernest Audrin arrived in Alderney towards the beginning of the 20th century. His origins were vague. He claimed to be an orphan who was saved, new-born, from a wreck on which his parents had drowned. Maritime Law at the time stipulated that a child, born at sea in such circumstances, adopted either the nationality of the ship where he was born or that of the first port of call".
2. A Dead Loss
"An Alderney pilot, Mr Jack Quinain, told me this story thirty years ago. Generations of his family had been fishermen and the youngsters had to learn this hard calling from childhood". A true story written, edited, and read by the author, and local Alderney man, Royston Raymond from his book 'Fishermen's Tales'. Filmed on location in Alderney, Channel Islands
1. The Colonel
In the Spring of 1956 or 57 I was on leave from National Service. I was spending my four weeks of freedom at home in Alderney. I was at something of a loss and I hung around the "New Harbour" (it was new in 1830). This was a picturesque location where the coming and going of boats fascinated me. A true story written, edited, and read by author Royston Raymond.
