Waverley on TV
« on: November 01, 2014, 08:05:53 PM »
Did anyone catch 'Len Goodman's HolidaysRemembered' program with Anita Manning a couple of days ago?

Brought up in Glasgow Anita regularly went on holiday to Bute on the Waverley.

Apparently her father, who was an engineer, used to take her down to the engine room etc.

The program included plenty of shots on Waverley and, in the flash back films, to a number of other paddlers of the late '40's/'50's.

I didn't know about this show, thanks for posting - nice to see the clips of Waverley in her heyday along with some fleetmates.
