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.
