Thanks for the video. There are some other interesting gate systems like the Thames Barrier and the River Hull Tidal Barrier. I wonder how they compare and relate. What I really need to know is, "Why wasn't I there on that boat?"

150feet above ground level? So glad I joined the RAF. At least we had an aircraft around us at that height. Respect to all button boys.

My father was in the Atlantic convoys, merchant navy. He lied about his age, he was 15 years old. He was in the Atlantic Convoys PQ17.

My dad joined at the ripe age of 15 and 3 quarters in 1938 and was a button boy the same year but never said anything about the sad ending of one boy. Shocked.

Torch was, for propaganda purposes, a landing by U.S. forces, supported by British warships and aircraft, under the belief that this would be more palatable to French public opinion, than an Anglo-American invasion. For the same reason, Churchill suggested that British soldiers might wear U.S. Army uniforms, and No.6 Commando did so.[26] (Fleet Air Arm aircraft did carry US "star" roundels during the operation,[27] and two British destroyers flew the Stars and Stripes.[26]) In reality, the Eastern Task Force-aimed at Algiers-was commanded by Lieutenant-General Kenneth Anderson and consisted of a brigade from the British 78th and the U.S. 34th Infantry Divisions, along with two British commando units (No. 1 and No. 6 Commandos), together with the RAF Regiment providing 5 squadrons of infantry and 5 Light anti-aircraft flights, totalling 20,000 troops. During the landing phase, ground forces were to be commanded by U.S. Major General Charles W. Ryder, Commanding General (CG) of the 34th Division and naval forces were commanded by Royal Navy Vice-Admiral Sir Harold Burrough

That commentator needs to get his facts correct, Torch was not 'The invasion of North Africa . And the only Australian Troops in Britain were in a forestry group, 1940 - 43.

I’m deeply suspicious, as an American, of dialogue that tries to divide us. Our differences might be more pronounced, but we have far more in common than our enemies want us to know.

Brilliant !!! Thanks a million. I've always wanted to explore this part of the coast in my small boat and delve into it's history.

I have just uploaded a video trailer to KZbin for a book I wrote about the Arctic Convoys some years ago. A second book is in the research/writing process. I've given the correct credit for the use of the brilliant soundtrack as the background music.

I love that there is footage of this brave cat. Simon survived Hongkong harbour, the Yangtze incident and severe injuries, and also the long journey to Britain. He.died in quarantine. Quite a sad story.

The HMS Ganges mast has now been completely renovated and replaced - great to see the return of such an iconic landmark and hats off to Wavensmere for prioritising its restoration. It is a fitting monument to the 160,000 Boys who trained at HMS Ganges and served in the Royal Navy. There is a museum at Shotley Gate dedicated the history of the establishment - details can be found online.
