Round Island is nice.. on the other side of Poole Harbour is...Poole! A wretched hive of scum and villainy, especially when the Quay is lined with Bikes on bike night!





The Gallant still docks with goods from Portugal



Puntgunning wildfowl must have been fun



Tis changed since my Great uncle's model J rattled the windows

Round Island is nice, Green island is lovely too. It sold recently and the Iliffe family built this lovely lodge on it.





Brownsea Island is the ultimate, with it's own quay, Castle, and lagoon.

Poole harbour was famous as a seaplane base- you could fly most anywhere in the world from there. It's the second biggest natural harbour in the world , and had three seaplane runways.

'Clare' stands ready in the 40's to run to America


BOAC used it until '48



It had all gone by the time I was born , the hulks of the Clippers were playgrounds



Then in '76 , Capt. Blair arrived with Southern Cross!



I spent every moment I could as a teen enjoying the scene, from the moment the Capt. left his digs i'd ride to the beach to watch her take off. His wife (Maureen O'Hara) rocked up in a Merc from Ireland that week too.

They're gone, but Southern Cross lives! Lovingly kept in a museum just along the coast, me and mine got to sit on the flight deck, myself in Captain Blair's seat , Red in Maureen's, in an act of ginger solidarity.
