I miss those dreary days in the jungle of Borneo in the early 1990s when my small SW radio was my window (fastest source of news)to the world. BBC World Service was a constant companion. The Colombia disaster, The Iraq War, Bosnia, 911 - heard them all first on BBC WS radio.

The iconic lillybulero signature tune and This is London (radio call) will always give goosebumps in a positive to those who were a part of listening SW bandwidth across the world! My favourite was Radio Moscow World Service (English service) for two reasons first one of their iconic signature tune (Moscow nights) and the music!! Thank you for posting this document it was delightful to hear the distorted analogue radio broadcast from a bygone era! A fan and an admirer from Pakistan!

I'm from Ireland and Shortwave was very musch a part of my childhood too. I love this stuff. I used to think that Tirana, Belgrade and Warsaw were all so exotic back in those days.

The sooner they bring back "This is London" and a Full Blast of Lillybulero the better...Iconic ..rather than the boring generic replacement that could be any station...I hope somebody in power has the sense to do it!!

Listened to the BBC WS in Belgium during the 1980s on shortwave. Was an important part of my day. "BBC World Service. The news, read by Pamela Crighton." "This is Tommy Vance with Rock Salad. Music on the heavier side." -Or something to that effect. How about those endless lists of local sports match scores? Tide listings? "The Brotherhood of Brass" 😊

If anyone's wondering the Russian announcement music is the prince of denmarks march, specifically Wood's version, and the radio newsreel intro music is a march called "Imperial echoes".
