Badger Bags A Buoyant Bounty

Ray Bradman and his dog Badger were recently out for their daily walk along Woodside Bay on the Isle of Wight, when Badger sped off towards the sea for some playing and splashing. Shortly afterwards, Badger came bounding back with an IC-M33 he'd found in the surf. When Ray eventually prised the radio off Badger, he found that it was still working perfectly, even though it had been submerged for some considerable time!

This summer Jack Daly, a 16 year old boy from Herne Bay, will be heading off on a long awaited fundraising sailing trip around the UK.
