Churchill and that UFO story
…(slightly out of date, now) list of early 20th century British newspapers online (some are free, most are not). You could use that as a starting point; the British Newspaper Archive is particularly good for local newspapers. Unfortunately, though, I’m not aware of any available Birmingham newspapers from the period, even though Manchester and Liverpool, for example, are fairly well-served. But if this object was seen in Scotland and elsewhere, th…

I’ve had a look in various online newspaper archives but can’t find any reference to her after 1940; her name is mentioned in a number of books but only as the subject of Beaton’s photograph, not as a person in her own right. Maybe someone will come along with the answer… martine dann Hello guys, I need your help PLEASE. I care for an 88 year old gentleman (ex R.A.F) and he is very frail, with 10 &…

[Hey, folx, Champions Online is awesome!] There is, however, also the fact that the Diefenbaker government sniffed the crazy and had their B0MARCs delivered with conventional warheads. This then became an election issue, and Pearson brought in the nukes, complete with American officers to oversee the precious, precious plutonium. Then Trudeau and the Waffle… Really, the world can’t get enough…

Fremantle
As I’d never been out west before, I allowed myself a couple of days after the Perth conference for sightseeing. First I travelled down to Fremantle, not far south of Perth. Fremantle is a port city on the Indian Ocean, which is why it has not one but two branches of the Western Australian Museum devoted to maritime history. The biggest and flashest is the Western Australian Museum — Maritime (let’s just call it the Maritime Museum). Among its tr…

…. It wouldn’t be the first book mis-sold by its blurb either. A quick scan online hasn’t found many reviews, those available have at least enough positives to make it into the publishers ‘nice to quote’ list. Chris – apparently (according to a couple of reviews) he doesn’t address the Japanese campaign contrast. Don I too will be interested in any (partial) review of the Hansen book. My rough view, rightly or wrongly is that the RAF/UK thought it…
