A couple of months ago i had a ring from a guy in Auckland and he ask if i would agree to answer some questions about the MN in the war years he told me that they are doing a documentary for Veterans day next year .But owing to a lot of unforseen circumstancesi forgot all about it till the other day he said he was on his way to interview me .So yesterday he turns up with a tv camera plus a other stuff (i did not think it would be this much )it took a couple of hours .So the MN will get a bit more mentioned of what they did during the war

Hi Lou,
When I went to Dunedin to see you, a Newspaper Reporter asked me what I was going to do in Dunedin, I said I was going to meet you and he asked me how did I know you, so I told him a breif history of you on the Gloucester Castle and of you being in Singapore,
I wonder if that was the man?
Cheers Lou,
All the best
Brian.

Why dont you video record it and put it in here so we all can see. I'm sure everyone will only be too pleased to see it.
