MYSTERY LADY FOUND
|
|
|
|
Looking
equally at home as a pillion passenger on a motorbike, or
riding a scooter. |
These
photos were sent in
after being found in
a scrapbook, which had been thrown away. I
didn't know then whose photos they were, or in what year they
were
taken, and posted on Butlins
Redcoats Reunited Facebook page to ask for information about the pretty lady
in the photos, to contact me. Imagine my delight therefore, when I
received the following email:
Thank you for the
compliment,
I am that 'pretty girl' Eileen
(Billows), Redcoat in those photo.
Would love to hear from anyone from those happy days.

Eileen then
sent us more
photos of her fabulous times as a Redcoat, at Butlins Cliftonville
Margate Hotels. And here they are for you to enjoy.
HAPPY
DAYS!

We have
only been able to identify KIM, the lady in the
white coat (top) left.
So maybe the other people are her family,
who
have come to visit her.

We are sincerely
grateful
to the
photographers
who took these pictures, and preserved them as
windows to the past, and to FRASER DONACHIE who found them, and sent
them in.
