These photographs
were taken by a member of a work crew who went out to the Galaxy
for three months to remove the heavy flywheel from the redundant mine-sweeping
equipment and dump it overboard. (Yes, a part of the ship is still there
at the bottom of the North Sea.) We have no exact dates, but Brian Long, in 'The London Sound' suggests it was late 1965. The person who took the photos is deceased and we
were permitted to scan them by his son. This means we have been unable
to identify the two men, or the contents of some of the photos, although
members of the original USS Density crew have kindly supplied
some identification. The men depicted may have been members of the work
crew, or of the regular Galaxy crew. So far, nobody who was aboard
the ship during the Radio London m.v Galaxy days can recall the
event. If you click on any picture, you will be taken to a larger version.
Many thanks to
Paul Ewers for obtaining these pictures.
