General Historical Research
The following are of
more general interest, mainly historical.
One
of the most amazing stories in Egyptology. The unknown boy king who became
the most famous of all the Pharaohs. Howard Carter's diaries are
linked from this page. Startling revelations about secret
papyri and The Exodus! Tutankhamun was murdered!
A true
story of the rescue from the Mediterranean Sea of an American aircrew by HMS
Chevron, by eye witnesses on board.
To
commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the World's First Passenger Hovercraft
Service. July 1962. Between Moreton, Wirral and Rhyl North Wales. This was
also the worlds first Mail carrying Hovercraft.
The
Legend of King Arthur - fact or fiction? Merlin - Invention of
an inventive mind? Neither were names but actually titles.
The Wreck of the Edmund
Fitzgerald, Lake Superior Nov 1975. Immortalised in song by Gordon Lightfoot
in 1976. Sad tale of a shipwreck in an unusual storm on the Great
Lakes.
Various Pages collected on day trips around this beautiful land, see for yourself.
Who was he?
What really happened in the Exodus? Archaeologists have found where the 10
Commandments were written and supposedly handed down by god to Moses on the
present Egyptian - Israeli border and its NOT Mount Sinai!
Images
of Steam Loco's. Most taken by me in on the West Somerset Railway and at
Pickering in North Yorkshire. 4 Pages.
Magnificent
sailing vessels that still ply the seven seas today. Lots of images by me.
Something straight out of James Bond. Remarkable but true, how the CIA
pinched a Soviet sub, code books etc.
The
history and images of the infamous East/West Wall that split Germany until
1988.
The
Manchester United team of the mid 50s. If it had not been for the Munich
air crash on 6 February 1958 these superb players would have conquered the world!
Living on the
north west coast of England in the mid 60s meant we had the "pirate
radio station" Radio Caroline North. Many many happy hours were spent
on the beaches listening on our plastic "trannies" to these
pioneers of commercial radio stations in the UK. Scourge of the
"old fogey" - the decrepit BBC. Now in 2008, and judging by the
garbage churned out by BBC Radio 1, we need more Caroline's than ever
before!
