Hi there, would you be able to upload your film Man of the Mersey as this features my grandfather as the man who is in the dock office giving direction to the ships captain to guide the boat in....this would be so much appreciated. This clip was also used in the dvd..."echos of the Mersey" but I lost my copy and would love to see it again.
