The photographs here were taken in 1986. The photographs here were kindly supplied by Phil Hilton. Amongst other stations, Phil worked at Radio West during 1986 and was the first presenter of the Sunday morning 'Anorak Show' which was tuned into by both listeners and station operators who were interested in the world of radio.
