Dickinson, who now lives in Victoria, Australia, together with a couple from another 'Lymingtonian' Bill Davanney,

Skylark Coaches at Lymington, circa 1951
"Linnette" and my friend John Dickinson's Air Sea Rescue boat No 2512 were moored adjacent to the Skylark Garage, the sides of which flanked the river bank. The garage was originally a concrete making factory which had been sold and turned into a coach garage to a couple of 'luxury' coaches...not really luxury in the early 1950s. Copy of postcard.
