Edward Stewart Mainwaring
'Stewpot'
23rd April 1941 – 9th January 2016

"There was something special about being on a pirate radio ship in the North Sea, in a roaring gale in winter. You obviously can't recreate that in a studio on land and that's what gave pirate radio its special magic and appeal to millions of listeners."

Two photos of Ed and Mark Roman from the Mark Roman Collection, taken by Peter L Mould at Brands Hatch, June 18th 1967. The beauty competition was sponsored by Batgers Silmos Lollies.
