Please make a donation, help me to run this expensive site! Tutankhamun - One of the most amazing stories in Egyptology. The unknown boy king who became the most famous of all the Pharaohs.

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 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. King Arthur - The Legend of King Arthur - fact or fiction? Merlin - Invention of an inventive mind? Neither were names but actually titles. Edmund Fitzgerald -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. Images of England - Various Pages of images collected on day trips around this beautiful land, see for yourself. Moses! - 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, Severn Valley and at Pickering in North Yorkshire. 4 Pages. Tall Ships - Magnificent sailing vessels that still ply the seven seas today.

Iron Curtain -The history and images of the infamous East/West Wall that split Germany until 1988. United! - 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! 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 Inspector Morse solves a 140 year old 'cold case'. The true story upon which Colin Dexter based his book, The Wench is Dead.
