+ Offshore. Radio Caroline is raided by Dutch and English authorities, the transmitters are being smashed up when the Caroline tender arrives, with DJ Dave the Fish on board whereupon they leave, one of the DTI officials leaving his glasses behind. The DTI later deny being on board, and say the raid was entirely by Dutch authorities. The MW transmitter is totally destroyed, but they leave the 50KW Short-Wave transmitter unmolested because the tender has arrived. The main reason given why this happens is due to broadcasts of a religious service from the vessel going out on 6215 kHz, a dedicated Marine emergency channel! [Why it was felt necessary to destroy the MW transmitter remains obscure.]
