Bang on Target

The Big 3.7” Heavy Anti-Aircraft Guns have long been gone, but Red Sands Radio is bang on Target for its broadcasts commencing on the 14th July 2007

Said Programme Director Bob Le-Roi  “The whole reason for doing this is to remind people that without the considerable risky effort of the pioneering Pirates, UK radio wouldn’t have developed as it has today”

When Offshore Radio came on air in 1964 it broke the state controlled British Broadcasting Corporation’s stronghold on radio forever & gave listeners what they really wanted

The old WWII Forts had lain dormant & abandoned for years to be taken over by Radio Stations eager to satisfy the public’s hunger for Popular Music

Finally silenced in 1967 the Forts are now back in 2007 & “on air” during Whitstable Oyster Week Celebrations with a brand-new mix at the broadcasting forefront

Red Sands Radio is part of the overall Project-Redsand who are well advanced in their long term plans to preserve the last full set of Army Forts for future generations

Radio Red Sands launches on 14th July 2007
