If you are looking for the comments on the Fair-Acre Planning Application , as sent to Wycombe District Council (April 2007) please CLICK HERE
Please note that this Fair Acre document is currently sent on behalf of 44 Others in response to the Henry Homes Application to demolish Fair-Acre and build a minimal amount of housing. We consider that
this is purely an application for Outline Planning which will be changed as soon as they gain ownership. We feel that is not in the interest of the present owner to sell at a much reduced price, should our presumption prove to be true.

The Wrexham and Shropshire, the best rail service in the UK will no longer be there
Congratulations to everyone who helped to achieve such service - RIP W & S
Catching the DB Schenker pulling (or actually pushing) the Wrexham and Shropshire towards Marylebone
on 4th November 2010 at 10:43 was a perfect bit of luck and timing.
Not quite such good results of DVT 82302 leading 67018 D B Schenker northwards on 4th July 2011 with the bad, early evening light

Looks like you would have to bribe a Chiltern Driver to slow right down if you are ever to get a decent picture of D B Schenker and the smart DVT at Wembley (Pix courtesy of Waqas)

Tracking the Lincolnshire Poacher - A wild journey to the outer limits of radio cryptography and espionage as Simon Fanshawe enters the clandestine world of shortwave Number stations. Are they the mad aural daubings of pirate DJs, an extraordinary and elaborate hoax or are they, as many believe, coded messages broadcast by intelligence services and governments to their agents in the field? See the proof here.
Did you miss the programme on Radio 4 about the 'good old days' of the Short Wave Jamming stations? This was originally broadcast on 15th August 2006 and repeated on 18th April 2007
Listen again NOW
(with Winamp) Political Interference - Roger Bolton recalls a fierce but invisible battle waged in the skies above Eastern Europe for almost forty years. Soviet bloc radio engineers tried to jam radio signals coming from the West while their Western counterparts did their utmost to get the signals through. Roger talks to engineers from both sides and hears what happened when the jamming finally stopped.
Have you ever wondered if the National Archives will have problems with the government's change to using email instead of the old paper methods? This was broadcast on 4th July 2010 on Radio 4's Broadcasting House Notes in the margin -
I have purchased quite a few of the archives from the Offshore Radio days of the 60's from the National Archives. The most interesting feature is the number of notes that people have marked in the margins as well as their comments and opinions. I have wondered, for a long time, how the change to email and the use of "Post-Its" will affect the material that people see in 30 (or more) years time. Mark Dunton explains.
