  8. Yes I would agree with most and should be banned. we ban most things what can cause a danger to life and property and lanterns no exception. we have to look at the divided line between harmless fun and the harm caused by these lanterns which is now evident enough that lanterns are causing more harm then good.
  9. I think the spitfire what fly's around Hucknall nowadays is owned by rolls themselves and was built in Aston.. It a regular sight around hucknall when it attends the yearly open day which the aerodrome holds in June/July time. In earlier post it was mentioned that the lighting was took from service mid 80s............. but I think that they kept two lightings on for high speed radar targets down at Hendon for quite bit of time after, Can anyone confirm this?

  11. If we are talking about the brothers Chris and Tony Richards? I was one of Chris's mates form school but managed to bumped into him through pure luck after years with no contact after leaving school, I was delighted to see a old mate again and tony too, they are two nice genuine chaps. I text Chris to wish him a happy new year and was delighted to hear he just become a granddad, He seems to have loved his boxing for along time and Liverpool fc for as long as I known him... 11yrs old
  12. Hello Mike2me, I think we could be both right here, There was a Grocers shop on the corner of Garfield road and Colleridge street, The one I had in my mind was a off licence further up Garfield road and I believe that was called Moffatt's or Moffets. As I remember the brick work to the shop was painted white, The Grocers I think you picture I used to live directly opposite but strangely enough I forgot about that one until you mentioned Grocers shop.

  15. I always wondered what happened to George and where he went, I think he was still in the newsagent on Garfield road when we left because our houses were being demolished. Really pleased to hear that he is alive and kicking though.
  16. Forgive me for replying to older post, I am new to the forum and just reading and finding my way round on all interesting post. I was brought up on Garfield road and as I remember there was a sue I believe what lived in a beeroff shop half way up the road on the right coming from Hartley road end, There was also a barbers shop further up what I can remember the barber was polish and went by the name of Neil. Also my Step farther use to drink in the boulevard so may have a good chance of knowing swetpea granddad. He went by the name of Jock
  17. Must say being new to this group and having the warmest of welcomes of Michael Booth and after finding some great names and bands posted here on the real rock and roll subject I am pleased to be part of the forum, I always feared that these bands mentioned on here would disappear through time but thank god there is folk like you all on here to keep it alive. I have a passion for this old stuff and type of music. Most the time on Friday nights I spent at the running horse on canon circus... there's nothing like a good old rock and blues band played live.
  18. I believe this is a vintage Nissan Figaro
  19. I Believe its a old vintage Nissan Figaro, Please correct me if I am wrong
  20. Yes Zcars was filmed in Radford and at the Sydney Pearson Hill school and around the Clifton bridge area, I was a little youngster then at that school so can confirm this. The episode in question is called/titled.....( Scot Free ) and was shown on TV in 1976 even though the filming of Scot Free was early 1975. Hopes this helps.
