RSL 2004 Photo Competition winners
Many thanks to all who have sent in entries.
From over two hundred photos submitted we have picked a winner of what we judged to be the best photograph that in itself told a story and was of the highest quality.
Below we feature your choice from the runners up.
Martin Leech’s montage (below) is to be made into a mouse mat. More soon on availability.
Like the RSL itself this has all been great fun!
Thank you all!

A selection of people photos from the 2004 RSL broadcast...
Roger Day showing visitors Colin and Jacky Smith where they are!
Nick Rowemanages a scary view back down to the paint crew! Some head for heights!
Johnny Lewis busy taking calls. Johnny brought a fun feel back to a number of afternoon shows!
Jim Ross our mainstay of the afternoon show as always
The lovely Lee was how Graham Coull described the stations youngest DJ. Who would argue. Lee clearly has had great fun broadcasting through the RSL
Dave Foster who put in many long hours throughout the broadcast on and off air!
Rob Leighton brought Imagination to the ship live along with guest musicians
Trevor preparing one of many meals for all on board
Graham L Hall who took broadcasting out on deck the last weekend
Riga Steve bringing his own style to the studio
Many thanks to Graham Coull for all the extra pics of the crew
“Caroline Supporters Remembered”
in the Ross Revenge record library (spotted by The Beaney) listing
Jenni Baynton of Middlesex and Adrian Robinson of Lancashire.
Rockin’ John Cron adds “A link to Jenni Bayton can be found on the Radio London website under "Jenni Bayton Memorial". Also listed was "Adrian Robinson". His name was Brian Robinson and he was a member of the North of England Repair Group and came to the meetings in Leeds with his mate, Carl Schofield. They travelled from Preston for every meeting. Brian wasn't a well lad at the best of times and suffered from heart problems.”
Thanks John, Ed.
Left is the redressed Teddy guarding the bridge. As well as knitting for the teddy we’re told that, much missed, Jenny Knight kept many a DJ warm through long winter nights by knitting for them on the Ross Revenge when at sea.
Thanks to Brian Nichols
Rob Ashard, (taken by Dave Foster), in the rather swish looking studio two on the Ross Revenge, refurbished for the RSL.
“Chris Cooper”, Caroline December 1989 to January 1990 ( for a mere three weeks we are told ) sneaks back into familiar studio one on the Ross Revenge. Mind you even this one has a PC
(Many thanks to Chris Mould of Birmingham)
