This blew me away a bit. Cyril Ellis is my great uncle. I once asked him about tangiwai when I was about 11 yrs old one Christmas, and he said " I did the only thing I could, what anybody else would have done. I tried to do what I could with what I had and I think anyone else would have done the same" very humble guy.
I was at the service again this year. Missed the loco that arrived later and gave the long horn blast. Thanks for recording this.
