Drake must convince the wife to return with her husband to England, where he is told the man will receive amnesty. [3] For example, Welsh pirate Bartholomew Roberts sometimes "used a flag that had his own self-portrait on it with a bleeding heart, so he could symbolise himself as this all-powerful pirate", Simon says. A diplomatic satchel is stolen by bandits when a plane crashes off the coast of Sicily. Drake must deal with the bandits to retrieve the satchel.

Simon also says if a captain wasn't doing a good job, they could be voted out, usually to be replaced with the second-in-command.

These variations can include different facial expressions, accessories, or additional symbols. The Jolly Roger is pirate radio station on an old sea fort.

The rest of the sets were built in studio, and look quite business-like, although the interior shots show the studios and living accomodation as being quite lavish, where in reality, conditions on the forts were spartan to say the least! An M9 agent is murdered in Tokyo while transmitting a message about the impending assassination of a United Nations mediator. Drake is assigned to protect the official.

In Scotland, a stolen car is recovered bearing the fingerprints of long dead masterspy. Is he still alive and working? Drake is sent to a remote island to protect the wife of a murdered diplomat who is writing a book exposing the truth. John Drake’s arrival is met with suspicion from the rest of the radio station crew which included real-life singer Patsy Ann Noble as ‘Susie Wade’, Wilfred Lawson as the drunken cook ‘Corrigan’, Andrew Faulds as the no nonsense ‘Mullins’ and Edwin Richfield and Lisa Daniely as ‘The Janson’s’, the stations’ owners.I am missing a few editions which I will add if/when I obtain them. If you can help fill the gaps it'd be great to hear from you!

Some books list episodes 3-1 to 3–10 as part of series 2 due to change of studio from 3–11. Airdates are again as for ATV Midlands. The practice, while commonly associated with British submarines, is not restricted to them. During World War II, Allied submariners working with Royal Navy fleets adopted the process from their British counterparts. [58] While operating in the Mediterranean, the Polish submarines ORP Sokół and ORP Dzik were presented with Jolly Rogers by General Władysław Sikorski, and continued to update them during the war. [59] [60] At least one British surface ship recorded their U-boat kills through silhouettes on a Jolly Roger. [61] The Australian submarine HMAS Onslow flew the Jolly Roger in 1980, following her successful participation in the Kangaroo 3 wargame as an opposing submarine: the flag bore the silhouettes of the seven surface ships involved, as during the exercise, Onslow had successfully 'sunk' all seven. [62]For a start the human chameleon John Drake becomes the cool DJ Johnny Drake, or JD. How cool is that? This was actually a symbol that had been used since the Middle Ages, basically to symbolise death. And it was often used in maritime logbooks, next to a name of someone who had died," Simon says. This song was released on a recent LP "Rave with the Amphetamine Generation" containing many unknown rarities taken from acetates. In September 1914, the British submarine HMS E9 successfully torpedoed the German cruiser SMS Hela. [47] Remembering Wilson's statements, commanding officer Max Horton instructed his submariners to manufacture a Jolly Roger, which was flown from the submarine as she entered port. [46] [47] Each successful patrol saw Horton's submarine fly an additional Jolly Roger until there was no more room for flags, at which point Horton had a large Jolly Roger manufactured, onto which symbols indicating E9 's achievements were sewn. [47] A small number of other submarines adopted the practice: [47] HMS E12 flew a red flag with the skull and crossbones on return from a foray into the Dardanelles in June 1915, [48] and the first known photograph of the practice was taken in July 1916 aboard HMS H5.
