  We present a VMD based model aiming to describe all radiative decays of light
mesons. We show that the SU(3) breaking mechanism proposed by Bando, Kugo and
Yamawaki (BKY), supplemented by nonet symmetry breaking in the pseudoscalar
sector are sufficient to provide a nice description of all data, except the
charged K* radiative width. It is also shown that nonet symmetry breaking has
effects which cannot be disantangled from those produced by coupling of glue to
the eta' meson. Coupling of glue to $\eta$ is not found to be required by the
data.
  Asssuming the charged K* radiative width is indeed at its presently accepted
value necessitates to supplement the BKY breaking in a way which finally
preserves an equivalence statement between the VMD approach to radiative decays
and the Wess-Zumino-Witten Lagrangian.
