Looking equally at home as a pillion passenger on a motorbike, or riding a scooter.

These photos were sent in after being found in a scrapbook, which had been thrown away. I didn't know then whose photos they were, or in what year they were taken, and posted on Butlins Redcoats Reunited Facebook page to ask for information about the pretty lady in the photos, to contact me. Imagine my delight therefore, when I received the following email:

Thank you for the compliment, I am that 'pretty girl' Eileen (Billows), Redcoat in those photo.
Would love to hear from anyone from those happy days.

Eileen then sent us more photos of her fabulous times as a Redcoat, at Butlins Cliftonville Margate Hotels. And here they are for you to enjoy.
HAPPY DAYS!

We have only been able to identify KIM, the lady in the white coat (top) left.
So maybe the other people are her family, who have come to visit her.

We are sincerely grateful to the photographers who took these pictures, and preserved them as
windows to the past, and to FRASER DONACHIE who found them, and sent them in.
