Swinging Radio England ("SRE") was a top 40 offshore commercial station billed as the "World's Most Powerful" that operated from 3 May 1966 to 13 November 1966 from a ship in the North Sea, four and a half miles off Frinton-on-Sea, Essex, England. While the station was dubbed a pirate radio station, its operation took place within the law and its offices were in the West End of London. Its representation was by a company formed earlier in the year to represent in Europe the ABC radio and television stations of the United States.

  • Swinging Radio England ("SRE") was a top 40 offshore commercial station billed as the "World's Most Powerful" that operated from 3 May 1966 to 13 November 1966 from a ship in the North Sea, four and a half miles off Frinton-on-Sea, Essex, England. While the station was dubbed a pirate radio station, its operation took place within the law and its offices were in the West End of London. Its representation was by a company formed earlier in the year to represent in Europe the ABC radio and television stations of the United States. Both the studio and the 50 kilowatt AM transmitter of Swinging Radio England were in two separate prefabricated rooms lowered into the two holds of the MV Olga Patricia (later renamed MV Laissez Faire), a World War II vessel built in the US as a supply ship. The station shared the studio and transmitter holds with a 50 kW AM sister station named Britain Radio billed as the Hallmark of Quality and broadcasting easy listening music. (en)
  • Radio England was een Engelstalige popzender, die sinds 3 mei 1966 vanaf het zendschip Laissez Faire, verankerd voor de kust van Essex (Zuidoost-Engeland) met een vermogen van 55kW op een golflengte van 227 meter - 1.322 kHz uitzond. De zender had dezelfde programmering als Radio London met Amerikaanse jinglepakketten, maar startte toen de markt al door anderen was afgeroomd. Ook zou de presentatie door vrijwel uitsluitend Amerikaanse dj's niet in de smaak van het Britse publiek zijn gevallen. Op zondag 13 november 1966 sloot Radio England en werd de dag daarop opgevolgd door de Nederlandstalige Radio Dolfijn. De andere Engelstalige zender op het schip, Britain Radio, bleef overigens wel uitzenden. (nl)
