Web Site

Many
of our readers are ex-pat Natives living in foreign parts -
either in the UK or overseas. So, we thought it would be nice to
devote a section to their lives "abroad". The
"Home In" items describe
their home towns. The "Why/How"
items explain why they left Whitstable, how they travelled and
what awaited them

Brian Smith - a reluctant "Ten
Pound Teenage Pom" of 1952... with shocks to come in Melbourne
|

*
Bob Court - a "£20 Pom"
in NZ... based on a wrong assumption

Bill Dancer - a 1968 Douglas DC8 flight
to a second seagoing career... in Canada

With the Manston
USAF base of the 1950s just a few miles from Whitstable, a number of local
lasses emigrated to the US after meeting US airmen. But it
wasn't
always straightforward.... as Rosemary Gilbert relates.
