Our challenge to the anorak trolls ....

Yesterday we asked this question ....
"When did Allan James Crawford begin his first venture into offshore radio?"

Well the anorak trolls responded by promoting the question and drew attention to our original post, but so far, the question itself has remained unanswered.

Why is this important to us, and what does it have to do with this project?

Everything!

Years ago (2014) we were about to write the history of offshore radio by incorporating the given story about Radio Caroline. But we had already discovered holes in the version spun by Ronan O'Rahilly who was a fraudster - a con man.

Then we were confronted by a challenge which blew Ronan O'Rahilly into the realms of obscure blathering or blethering as some would have it. That challenge arose due to the misquoted claims of Alan Bednall. So we embarked on a very lengthy search of discovery to find the original version of what Bednall had actually claimed.

Then we found it, but Bednall had not named the entities which would have allowed us to connect the dots.

Recently we found that entity.

But unfortunately the official records relating to it seem to be missing. A curator went in search of it"  via three main governmental sources and drew blanks.

Then we found some indicators by buying information from a score of credible sources, and all of that led to the question now posed to anorak trolls of the "Church of Caroline".

We arrived at this question:
"When did Allan James Crawford begin his first venture into offshore radio?"

We have a working answer, but, since some of the anorak trolls like to play "gotcha!" games, we are giving them a chance to speak or forever keep quiet and crawl back into their own world of nonsense.

No, we are not stating in public what the evidence seems to point to in answer to that question, so this means that anyone offering their own answer will have to do so providing their own sources of proof to support their claims.

Why is this so important?

Because we have now decided upon a two-part approach to publishing our findings and it is one we have used in the past.

We will be providing a storyline for general release to the public, but not a storyline that is weighed-down by footnotes and endnotes of the kind found in academic works.

However, we will then begin publishing a series of academic works that will take apart one element of the storyline at a time, and thoroughly document it, one book at a time.

Whether the storyline is one or two books remains to be seen, but the academic companions will be a series of books. As stated earlier, we have used this approach before, although the anorak trolls seem to be unaware of this fact.

Oh, yes, you have not heard the last of Caroline Brooks by the way: I will be the narrator of the storyline!

But anorak trolls out there .... don't let the name of Caroline Brooks distract you from your quest to provide your own answer to this question:
"When did Allan James Crawford begin his first venture into offshore radio?"

Do you even know the answer?

So far your posted rants seem to indicate total ignorance!
