Radio Caroline - Pirate Radio Ships 1965

Not available in your country? Try 52 Years ago a British Pathé film crew left Felixstowe harbour on the tender ’Offshore 1’ for a visit to Radio Caroline’s MV Mi Amigo. The footage of their 2 day film shoot was heavily edited and ended up as a 3 minute item, used as part of a short Pathé cinema special about ’Water’. The Pathé archive recently published this ’Water-clip’ on YouTube where many of you may have seen it. The picture quality and lighting of the professional cameraman were pristine, since it was shot on 35mm cinema film (without sound, just commentary and stock music added). The young successful ’pirate’ Radio Caroline got a bit of a tendentious outdated treatment by Pathe’s commentator - representing the establishment in those days. BUT... what interested me most was the fact that British Pathé also made 7 minutes of outtakes available online, albeit without any sound or colour
