The first of the New Branch series from 1998 via a UHF link but it did not gain his interest as there was only three missions and we had to wait till 2003 till the next apperence. 1998 (77min 32meg)

Another from the 1998 series (48 min 20meg)

Last in the 1998 series from September that year, a Branch, Stu, Egg missions(71 min 29meg)

This is the second last Branch missions from Oct 2003 and was the first time he was on since 1998. Incomming audio was via netmeeting and as you will hear the quality is no way as good as Skype. Dallas and the Bek join latter on. All these recent missions have not been put up before as frankly i did not concider them all that interesting, but now as they are the last in a long line there is some appeal. 2003 (2H26min 61meg)

This is the last Branch missions, i am sad to say there will be no more as he died in June 2006. Mr Branch was last on air from his Park St station in 1980, Occasionally he could be convinced to come on a live crossband and this is the last time it happened in November 2004. The Branch was on via Skype and the wik on Eccolink.(65 min 27meg)

While going through my discs i found this missions that i had forgot about and it is the first time the Branch came on via Skype. It goes for quite a while and has some good bits. Who knows we might even find some more. (1HR 30 min 57meg)

Toms Interesting experiences in LA, among other things (121min 50meg)

Branch,Bek,and Stu missions from mid 70's. Bit of a rip off of Ms V White from the department (19min 8meg)

Played this recently on air and i have not heard it for a while but it is in the classic class,stu moaning about being sick of the missions after being on for 4 years.I think this would date back to about 1979. Quality is not the best as it is an of air recording and we thought it was not being loged but maybe that is why it is as good as it is. (1h 24min 35meg)
