Re: ss halo and peter ross
#4. Cappy..The two names I mentioned may if you think about it give you some enlightenment . Stephen McGinty should be well known in Scotland for his articles and Book. Paul Berriff a well known documentary maker and holder of the BAFTA Award , he was at one time also I believe a member of the Humber lifeboat. Most of your pictures on the twin towers falling were by him . Also think he received an OBE this year , if he too reads this site ,Congratulations Paul . Both these people I spent some time with many moons ago and though the time was short they both appeared good people. Cheers JS
