Cleanup date October 2007 Image Aegir 03s.jpg thumb 250px right MV Aegir http members.home.nl theovanhalsema dossierdelmare03a.html In early 1977 a few enthusiasts decided to restore a Dutch radioship on the high seas, about 3 years after Veronica and Radio North Sea International RNI went off the air. A lot of work went into getting money on the table for this project and with a very low budget, in May 1977 they bought MV Aegir. They worked to make it sea worthy and broadcast ready. Unfortunately the first drawback came much too early, on Friday June 23 1978, people from the Dutch RCD Radio Control Office and police boarded the ship. The father of one of the crew members did not want to see his son going on this adventure and notified the official authorities. Preemptive Raid For a year and a half, they managed to keep their project secret even the free radio society insiders knew nothing about it. Had everything gone as planned and they would have managed to pass customs, then the first broadcast from the station, called Radio Nordzee Radio Nordzee International , would have been on air on Monday the 26th of June 1978. Because of the raid was this no longer possible with a truck they removed all their possessions AM and FM transmitters, the whole studio line up, thousands of records, record and tape archive, books, diagrams etc. International Waters The damage was about 20,000, but the ship was not confiscated and so they used it to go out immediately into the open sea. Food, oil and everything else we needed was still on board, so they could hold it out for some time. br Early July they went into the harbour of Maassluis near Rotterdam with the name of the ship changed into Flip . Two weeks later they went into the town Hendrik Ido Ambacht, where the anchor chain was pulled on board.
