General Historical Research
Please make a donation, help me to maintain this site! Mercator - A true story of the rescue from the Mediterranean Sea of an American aircrew by HMS Chevron, by eye witnesses on board. A "sneaky beaky" mission which went wrong! VA3 Hovercraft - Commemorating the 40th/50th 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. Edmund Fitzgerald -T he 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. Images of England - Various Pages of images collected on day trips around this beautiful land, see for yourself. Images of Steam Loco's. Most taken by me in on the West Somerset Railway, Severn Valley and at Pickering in North Yorkshire. 4 Pages. Tall Ships - Magnificent sailing vessels that still ply the seven seas today. Lots of images by me. Soviet Sub K129 - Remarkable but true, how the CIA pinched a Soviet sub, code books etc. (2008 now an all revealing documentary from Michael White). Iron Curtain -The history and images of the infamous East/West Wall that split Germany until 1988. King Arthur, fiction or fact, here's my take. Radio Caroline - 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! Murder in Rugeley. A murder upon which the famous tv detective Inspector Morse solves a 140 year old 'cold case'. The true story upon which Colin Dexter based his book, The Wench is Dead. Munich Air Crash 1958. 2013, new pages: Richard III & Visual humour. Tutankhumun and Moses - much twisted tales of Ancient Eqypt.
