Re: Sea Breezes
OK I've got them here now on my desk. The Part 2 was the next month June 1993 and is entitled "An unsuccessful bid to escape". I'll noe delve into some other files and see if there is a spare copy of these

Re: Sea Breezes
Well typically I have spare copies of most of the 90's but not 1993. So, I will attempt to photocopy both parts and hopefully would be able to send you as attachments on an email. Do not post your email address on the forum but send me a PM and will see what I can do.

Re: Sea Breezes
Now I see there is a Part 3 in July 1993. "The survivors, long road home". My OH wants to be taken to the supermarket so, I'll finish the scanning later and await your address.

Hi Gordon
I am sure that Austin Morris of Cheshire wrote an article about it and mentioned the young Steward being killed in the accident.
There is or was a site on computer called "A PEOPLES WAR" or similar ., it could be on there.

Re: Sea Breezes
I've attempted to attach these three folders but cannot make it work. Don't usually have any issues but I've never done it on this site before. Any tips from someone more technically advanced than me???? I see no reason why this story should not be available for all to see.

Empowering women at $4.90 a go sounds a cheap
