Filmed on board Les Hanois Lighthouse in 1994 when I made the wave washed Lighthouse video. This is Barry Bloy, Assistant Keeper of the Hanois Lighthouse.
Hi Peter, it was nice to see Barry again through your film. I served a couple of months with him on Longships when I was traveling around on the Pool during my last three years of service. He was a nice chap to be on station with.
Yes Neil he was great to be with on the Hanois . Both Barry and Robbie allowed me to follow them around with my video camera and produce a nice bit of History. Cheers Mate and take care.
@@PeterHalil Your right about Robbie also, I did a couple of months on the Hanois myself with Robbie, and the PK at the time was Brian Harris. It was a most enjoyable 2 months. This again was when I was on the Pool. I flew down from Gatwick to Guernsey for the two consecutive reliefs.
I'm thoroughly enjoying your lighthouse videos, a fascinating insight in to a vital job, which modern technologies have consigned to history. As a child of about 5, (in 1970) I can remember winding the clockwork (assisting , as it was a large handle for a 5 yr old!) to raise the weights in St. Mary's lighthouse in Whitley Bay. I visited Souter Point with the school in the 1980's, and have had both my now grown up sons to these lights! Your videos brought back memories big these visits, and I have quite an admiration for you and your colleagues when tending the remote rock lights offshore. You should have these videos made in to a TV documentary, I'm sure it would be very popular!
Thank you for your Lighthouse memories and kind words. Yes it would be nice to be approached by a TV company, but I wont hold my breath Lol...take care
These videos are just fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyable and a great insight into the lights and lives of the men. Great foresight to document all this history. Thanks from 🇮🇪
Hi Peter i think the guy i saw on Facebook looks like him, and this guy was also a diesel fitter from Huddersfield. All the best and once again great videos
Nice nostalgia A trip around Britain Went to school at St Bees School they removed all the sand from the beach, this is before I got there actually. I knew conditions were bad I didn’t know they were that bad
Was Barry present on your other video of Les Hanoi? When it shows the Heli-flight there.He seems familiar. Thanks again Peter and all the best to you and yours.
Another great video, thanks Barry and Peter. I Believe Barry would have been in very last batch of keepers Trinity House ever recruited, as I think Trinity House did not recruit keepers after 1979, Please correct if wrong Peter. Thank you.
@@PeterHalilPeter, working on a little project you might enjoy when its finished, namely a scale model of Hanois lighthouse dated to the time of your video, will message you with an update when it's a bit further along.
Avery Aish mentioned by Barry was the last full time keeper I believe, he joined 03.11.1980. During the period of redundancies some sons of serving keepers were taken on, Barry mentions one in the video, Nathan Arnold who I believe joined 1/10/1989.
Hi Chris, he meant the living quarters as about two thirds of the place was demolished. So they left the lighthouse and an attached much smaller building when I filmed in the 1990's.
Hi, I've not been in touch with Barry since the making of the movie. Hopefully somebody out there knows something and can help, if so please feel free to contact us on this channel. Cheers and take care.
Hi, I've no idea where Barry is since leaving the Lighthouses, I don't know if he is alive and if he has even seen his interview video, it would be nice to know, stay safe
