G6YL 1933 England
Operator: Barbara Dunn
G5WQ and Barbara Dunn G6YL.
This photo was taken around 1929/1930 at the house in Great
Crosby Liverpool where he lived when he wasn't working as a ships
radio operator for Marconi Company and sailing round the globe,
Reg and Barbara were part of the same family, "related"
by the association of their parents, albeit their parents were
not married. Reg's son Peter told me they weren't.
Peter told me he always referred to Barbara as "Aunt
Barbara" for her whole life.
Barbara's mother was associated with Reg's father
after Barbara's father died. He left Barbara his wealthy estate.
Barbara had the money and her mother had next to nothing, hence
how she became aquainted with Reg's father .
Barbara and Reg got on very well, were always in touch via radio.
I think Reg's sister Muriel took the photo.
The photo is in a photo album of Reg Witty's son Peter.
