Hi, the gentleman in this video is my grandfather Bradford Potter. His boat was called the FRAM, after Roald Amundsen's polar exploring ship.

Hi Nick
We are related; I am sole surviving British Potter and met your grandfather Brad and grandmother Beth in 1972 when they visited my family - I believe Brad and my father were cousins. I am currently putting together a family tree (very close to completion) and would like to share it with you, if you are interested. (I am sadly not in touch with any of my Australian relatives) My email is brycejcpotter@gmail.com
I hope to hear from you
Bryce
