Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers and take care.

Thank you and to prove that it is a very small World with lots of coincidenses, the Waverley passed by here where I live only a day or so ago. Cheers and stay safe.

@@PeterHalil Excellent.

Thank you very much. The Christmas on the Needles was a Special one for me, even more so now that Gerry has gone on to that Lighthouse in the sky RIP Mate. Take care and styay safe.

Thank you so much for replying Peter. You, Ralph and Gerry make this so enjoyable to watch. So very sorry to hear of Gerry 's passing.

Thank you very much for that, sounds interesting. Somebody somewhere may have that stashed. It would be like looking for a needle in the proverbial haystack I guess. I often think of how little footage that seems to be out there on Keepers going up the winch on boat reliefs on the Bishop Rock, and yet every boat relief had tourist boats out watching it all with several people filming it. Lost in a box in the loft no doubt. Cheers and take care.

Thank you and we are well thanks. I'm almost at the end of this run of video and then I will be doing a few other lighthouses from this years trip to Florida. Then I have no idea, unless I can do more Holiday lighthouses, Scotland maybe? Cheers and take care.

Thank you very much. I totally agree with not taking life for granted, we are only here for a blink of an eye in time, so why not enjoy it and be nice to each other. Cheers Mate and take care.

Yes, it is. Not what the Keepers were used too, I bet. Take care and thank you.

Definitely, beautiful pieces of art. Thank you for your comments. Stay safe.

Sorry I was enquiring as to the Lister diesels . I have a couple of their gensets myself and was curious if you knew what models they were as I have a fascination for the oily bits !! It's wonderful watching your films as they really give a true feeling of what it was like . Thank you for documenting them .Cheers 👍

@@christopherhampson265 Hi, if you haven't done so yet, watch my Needles at Christmas part 2, I believe that Gerry Douglas-Sherwood PK gives an intensive walk through tour of the Lighthouse with a fair bit in the engine room. Thanks again cheers and stay safe.

Hi, thanks for that. Yes, I was full of good intentions in doing the whole Wales Coast Path but age,fitness and life just got in the way. I made a very good portion of it so that will have to do I guess. Glad you enjoyed my videos, and yes Wales is a very pretty place, take care and above all, stay safe.

Hi, most of our engines were gardener/listers and the compressors were mainly by reevel of Ipswich, but I can't give you an answer about the generators for the Needles, sorry Cheers take care.

Dam Busters 😂

I haven't been anywhere near Trinity's new ships, but I assume they will be much quieter, cheers take care.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, stay safe and take care.

Thank you for that, much appreciated. I did do a longer intro once but got complaints from someone that it was too long! I only have a certain amount of footage, so to achieve what you are asking I would have to do some sort of loop. I will seriously think about it, but can't promise. Thanks again and stay safe.

Thank you for the reply. It's sort of hilarious that someone thought that video was too long. All they had to do was stop watching when they'd had enough of it. Ah well.....

Thank you very much. Glad you liked the video and the look inside Trwyn Du. Cheers and stay safe.

I didn't fish, Robbie was into catching lobsters and crabs, and I don't know if Barry fished. Normally, lighthouses have a history of Keepers fishing. With rod and line and even with kites. Most lighthouses that I've been on, have somebody fishing. Cheers and take care.

Thank you very much, glad you found my channel. Cheers and take care.

The noise from the engines are naturally amplified by the mike on the video camera, it never sounded that loud unless, in the engine room. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much, much appreciated. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much. Yes there must be other countries that decided to keep their Keepers? Glad that Canada kept at least some. Cheers, take care and stay safe.

Thank you very much. Llanddwyn is one of those places where you can just chill and listen to all those sounds. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much. I have never gone down the route of putting music on my videos, but my sound effects, waves etc are from Anglesey that I have taken myself.Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you once again. South stack is definately worth the trip to visit, one of those special places. Cheers and take care.

Thank you very much, glad you liked it. Yes, I think Llanddwyn is a rather nice place to visit, glad my video triggered some nice memories. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much and take care.

Thank you very much. The footage is from the early 1990's, along with some photos taken much later on. The camera was a sony camcorder, which was an update from the sanyo one that I used before. Also, as and when I could afford it, I would use Hi 8 video tape instead of the 8mm tape that I could normally afford. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much and I hope you have a pleasant day. Take care

Thank you very much, and welcome to my channel. I was one of the last keepers at South stack, so sad that we were all made redundant and the Lighthouses made automatic. However, that was the main reason why I started to do all the filming, before it was lost forever, glad you like them. Cheers and stay safe.

Thanks so much Peter. Just seen your filming at southstack so that will be my next watch. Take care and thanks again

The Tower Rocks out to sea were also similar, but this was what the Keepers dealt with until the Helicopters and helipads were brought in.

Yes I am thankyou.

Thank you very much. Yes I thought of that bridge as a smart idea, at times we seem to be going backwards when going forwards. Stay safe.

No sorry, no Trinity House lighthouses in my videos are manned anymore.

Thank you very much Jack, I'm not even sure if the modern fog horn is still there anymore. If anybody knows for certain, please feel free to enlighten us. Thanks again and stay safe.

Thank you very much. Take care and stay safe.

Thank you and yes indeed and a stunning location as well. Cheers and stay safe.

Thank you very much. Yes Anglesey has lots of amazing views. Thanks again and stay safe.

Thank you very much Mate, always appreciated. Take care and stay safe.

Hi, good luck with the book,as for tracking down a vhs of this video, I never produced any other than what you see on my channel. Take care and stay safe.

Hi Mark, welcome to my channel, glad you like my videos. I was in Florida early this year and visited a small amount of lighthouses. These will appear after I've completed this current run that I'm doing. They all had to be done hand held camera wise and as a normal tourist, but hopefully will turn out ok. Cheers and stay safe.

@@PeterHalil Thank you Peter. Looking forward to the Florida videos. My community, who mainly are from the UK, would love to be introduced to your channel. Thank you again - Mark

@@MarkfromtheStates Great, I did a couple of longer ones that are mainly on a sort of documentary feel to them. life inside a lighthouse. A Lighthouse Keepers Story. 1994 is a nice one and the other one is The Needles Lighthouse at Christmas, they give a good all round look at our lives out to sea. Cheers stay safe and hopefully they will enjoy the videos.

@@PeterHalil Much appreciated Peter thank you. Best wishes to you

I guess, especially on your own. Cheers

Coal, back in the day, another item that they would have loaded by hand.

Hi,Most jobs were done before mid day. But when on watch there were engines etc to make sure were working ok. The olden day Keepers would have been doing loads more work. Brass to polish. When radios came into service there was a general chat for a short while when testing in the mornings. You listened in on the distress frequency plus somebody was on watch all the time 24/7 365 days of the year. Cheers and take care

@@PeterHalil Fascinating! Thank you 👏

@@olliestudio45 Thank you, glad you liked it. Stay safe

Thankyou, glad you liked it.

No, that was just my notes, I kept journals which hopefully may become a book/books? Thanks anyway. Take care.

Me too!, The only way now in GB is as a Technichian that go out to do maintenance jobs. cheers and take care

Much appreciated, Thank you very much. Cheers and stay safe.

That is a shock to hear. What a complete A**hole to have done that to such a majestic lady, unbelievable. That was also news to me that not only was Radio Mi Amigo still going but that she was onboard LV 18. Donkeys years ago now I used to listen to Caroline and others whilst growing up nin East Anglia. I wish you well and I hope you all get back up and running soon. Take care and stay safe. Thanks again.

​@@PeterHalilhi peter, they got the clown and he has admitted it in court. It took 60 firefighters to contain the blaze. It'll take a while to repair her. I'm a member of another radio station broadcasting from a lightship. Dutch station Radio Seagull on the LV8, now called the Jenni Baynton. Do you know this vessel? Keep your videos coming Peter.

@@skyhill4279 Thank you very much, and I shall now have to google Radio Seagull LV8 Jenni Baynton. Thanks for the information, glad they caught the guy but that wont compensate for the damage. Stay safe
