Gerd Klawitter: RNI in July 1970

On Thursday 23rd July 1970, RNI closed down its transmissions off Clacton-on-Sea. The Mebo II upped anchor and headed back to the Netherlands. The station resumed broadcasts on Friday 24th July - without the jamming of the British authorities which had caused so much trouble. In Scheveningen harbour, the Mebo I waited to take several deejays to the Mebo II.

The 18-year-old German student Gerd Klawitter visited the crew on board, conducted several interviews and took unique pictures. He joined the guys on their trip to the Mebo II which had just arrived back from the UK.
