Where Is Minsk?

Do you remember radios with valves? Do you remember the warm smell of dust as the valves lit up slowly? And all those exotic names: Sundsvall, Sottens, Allouis, Limoges. And Minsk!

If your eyesight is wonderful you just might identify Minsk in the photo of my 1949 HMV wireless -
by appointment to His Majesty the King.



 
 
Will I Ever Get To Minsk? will be published by HappenStance in December.
