[Charlton]

you should be able to recognise two

 

[John]

Nice pic Alan.. That was a while back

 

[Charlton]

1986 John, quite a few 20lbers there

 

[crack-off!]

Alan,is that my mate Steve Harper behind you?

 

[craigyboy]

is that dave hayly on the right with the cap alan?

 

[Charlton]

yes crack-off that is Steve Harper and craigyboy that is Dave Hayley.
Apart from me there is also another on the photo who is well known in this forum.

 

[Marc]

Could that be Bob with the perm and the tash?

 

[Stores]

[mark]

anyone remember the \'torso in the tank\' in the background!

 

[Charlton]

Yes Marc, belive it or not that is a young, healthy Bob Lydon, just look at the state of him now. Mind he is fitter than me. Yes Dave remember the torso in the tank well.

 

[TC]

Yes Mark.
That area, although long since built on with expensive housing, is still known in Shields as Velva Liquids and the name will always be synonymous with the \"torso in the tank\". Don\'t think there\'s many people in Shileds (old enough to remember the case, that is), who will ever be able to hear one, without linking the other.

By the way, Alan......you must\'ve only been a young\'n on that photo as you haven\'t \'arf grown since it was taken.

[Charlton]

Yes craigyboy Bobs right it is Sean Blake, if i remeber right Mr Sloane could not make it. Bob i actually just set camera on macro and took a photo of the photo.

 

[Norman]

Those where the days Dave, they came from miles out, three hours steam back on the Briar, prodably an hour now on the JFK, 1,500lb of fish. not many boats equiped for wrecking in them days, not much competition
