Dear Donny,
I still have my one length certificate from Worthing Aquarena from 1967.
It’s a bit creased now, but if you want it I’ll donate it to you.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.

Leslie Crowther and Peter Glaze, although I remember watching later incarnations of it - always remember "It's 5 to 5, and it's Crackerjack !".
