Biography:

I am a retired Chartered Surveyor who specialised in the bringing forward of land for development and I am a dedicated amateur astronomer geared to taking images of deep space objects. My speaking was triggered fifteen years ago when I learned that the premises from which, as a schoolboy, I nicked a couple of Blacker bombard anti-tank missiles and a box of L-delay fuses was "Winston Churchill's Toyshop", the UK's premier weapons experimental station in WW2. I wrote to the BBC suggesting they make a documentary: their response was: the BBC “does not accept ideas for programmes of a documentary or factual nature” so I decided to put together my own Powerpoint presentation. ( I did persuade the Discovery Channel to make a programme but this omitted so much) I do not wish to travel more than around 30 miles from Thame in Oxfordshire unless escorted.
