Not to overload your reading today, I have chosen just 6 newspaper cuttings.
Opening today’s news is a report and photos of the Flying Fifteen Worlds held off Durban in April 2001. It’s also appropriate as Campbell Alexander and Ralph Thomas recently returned from the Flying Fifteen Worlds in Australia.
The other news cuttings shared are about Shosholoza – and it’s hard to comprehend that her exploits and those of her crew took place 18 years ago now.
Plus there is a nostalgic piece on Bertie Reed and John Martin.
Enjoy.
