We are most grateful to our 'all weather reporter' Roger Winnen who sent in the following dramatic pictures. KJ back on duty on the 26th!!
Hello Keith,
I hope you have had a good Christmas as once you see this Christmas will have come and gone. A few photos of the storm at Penzance on Monday. The signalling was knocked out resulting in pilotman working between Penzance and Marazion. After that episode I returned home soaked once more. All the best, Roger
