i started a flickr group called "boats on the norfolk broads" with a mind to see what came
 
up of interest and perhaps to unearth some interesting historic pictures.
 
i thought some of the members might find this of interest.

any information any one might have for jack robinson regarding his family history would
 
be welcome.

If you or anyone else is interested, I have 28 photos taken on the Norfolk Broads during a family holiday on a hired yacht, the Blue Diamond, in August 1948.
 
I can email the folder to you.
 
Email me at mailto:pjwallis2@bigpond.com - pjwallis2@bigpond.com
 
Cheers,
