Rope-ladder & Calgary Aquaplane - BN24
Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2018 5:34 pm
After fifty-nine years and five generations, our family holiday home in Pevensey is being sold. As a result, I'm having a clear out and have:
A rope ladder with wooden rungs that came with a Pearly Miss in the late 60s....
A Calgary Aquaplane. I've never seen another, but do know P G Woodhouse mentions Bertie Wooster using one! This old photo shows you the idea.

A piece of board with a handle and upon which you stand and balance. It takes practice but when I was using it in the 1970s, the risk of falling off into a slick of sewage concentrated the mind and tuned muscles, nerves and sinews alike.
If you want them and can collect them from Pevensey Bay sometime in August, they're yours for a donation to the British Heart Foundation - I want to see video proof of the Aquaplane in use!
