Our Family moved from Wanganui to Wellington to Strathmore Park and I went to Rongotai College before and during the Wgtn airport construction. The motor scrapers full of material went past with great regularity. When I first married at age 24 we moved into a house in Kemp St. How many degrees of separation is that? Actually there were only 10 families living in NZ in the 1940's - 50's. Immigration has a lot to answer for.	John H (8)

The Brownie No.2 listed at the link is the model I described earlier, and the Brownie + Amp shows the optional amplifier. The BBC logo stirred my memory and clinched the ID.	Jayess64 (8703)

Have you seen this: www.oldradios.co.nz Somehow the epithets 'calm' and 'peaceful' do not align well with the robust character of Mrs T, but she does have soul, it is underneath her foot and I can feel it quite distinctly when she presses down on my neck. Actually she's a sweetie but definitely has robust moments when it is best to find something important to do elsewhere! Yes, I do know Greg Cooney's site, it's a bit like the inside of an old-fashioned radio shop and you never know what you'll find when you flip over a page. He has an amazing collection, including a Ivalek/Bingo Crystal set, which demonstrates to all that he's a man of class and discriminating taste. As are all old radio collectors/restorers of course, though some do a fair impression of a grumpy old man until you touch on a subject near and dear to their heart. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
