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!
