THE RAID ON THE ROSS REVENGE - RADIO CAROLINE

The events prior to, during and after the raid on the Radio Caroline ship 'The Ross Revenge', Saturday 19th August 1989.
See the arrival of the DTI vessel the Landward; it's the day before the raid. They instruct the crew to leave the ship & stop transmitting. Their demands are refused, they move off.
The very next day 'The Volan's' arrives, ties up along side 'The Ross Revenge'; the crew are overwhelmed by the numbers coming on board & is savagely plundered. See footage of 'The Volen's' and its crew boarding the ship as the raid is taking place. Bruce Munroe gives an account of the situation from the deck of the Ross.
Work starts on returning Caroline to the air with the dismantling of the front & rear masts, see the remains of the 558 studio, the record library and transmitters.
