I remember when these were brand new. I had crossed on the old paddlers when Dad took us all on holiday to Dymchurch in the very early 1960's. These were state of the art and bang up to date when they arrived. One humorous memory is from 1965, when I was enjoying a trip to Margate on the Royal Sovereign. We were passing the Woolwich ferry as it was loading. A little lad called out in his very best cockney accent, "Cor Mum, look at all the cars on that big boat!"
"Oh yes," said his Mum, "They must be going for export I suppose."
Happy days indeed!!
Thanks for posting a somewhat sad image that raises happy memories.
