In a short-lived but tempestuous and exciting life, motorsport's
Group B category attracted world-class manufacturers to develop new
models. Almost all were technically-advanced, very powerful and
striking in many ways - with Ford's RS200 being perhaps the most
attractive, and the most promising, of them all. Conceived in 1983,
built in 1985 and 1986, and rallied strongly in 1986, the RS200 not
only looked purposeful but was only at the start of a promising
career when the FIA killed off the controversial Group B category.
Although Ford had already built 200 cars to satisfy homologation
requirements, the RS200's career was brought to an abrupt close,
and Ford Motorsport's efforts were almost entirely negated. Graham
Robson was closely involved with the project throughout its
tempestuous career, noting (and sometimes experiencing) all the
concept stages, the engineering process, the styling, development,
and manufacture, followed by a four-year period when he drove
RS200s as normal road cars. This is the complete story, as related
by the top management, the designers and the enthusiasts who ran,
and competed with, the cars themselves, along with many details of
when, where and how, all the elements of the design came together.
But this is not merely a trawl through the archives, as Robson
persuaded top personalities including Motorsport boss Stuart
Turner, engineer John Wheeler and project manager Mike Moreton to
fill in the details. This is a complex, visually and technically
enthralling tale, which provides inside information of probably the
bravest sporting programme ever tackled by Ford UK
In 1682, Charles II invited his scandalous younger brother, James,
Duke of York, to return from exile and take his rightful place as
heir to the throne. To celebrate, the future king set sail in a
fleet of eight ships destined for Edinburgh, where he would reunite
with his young pregnant wife. Yet disaster struck en route,
somewhere off the Norfolk coast. The royal frigate in which he
sailed, the Gloucester, sank, causing some two hundred sailors and
courtiers to perish. The diarist Samuel Pepys had been asked to
sail with James but refused the invitation, preferring to travel in
one of the other ships. Why? What did he know that others did not?
Nigel Pickford's compelling account of the catastrophe draws on a
richness of historical material including letters, diaries and
ships' logs, revealing for the first time the full drama and tragic
consequences of a shipwreck that shook Restoration Britain.
Robert Ellis James-Robertson (always known as Ellis) was born in
Wales but lived at Worcester from the mid-1950s and travelled
extensively around the country building up a large railway
collection. In the 1960s a few of Ellis's photographs were
published in books and magazines and the credit 'R. E.
James-Robertson' may be familiar to some. This book of mainly
unpublished colour and black & white photographs has been
created entirely from Ellis's North Wales archives, it will appeal
to railway enthusiasts, modellers, and those interested in local
history. The time period covered is from the mid-1950s through to
the mid-1960s with steam being the predominant motive power. Much
of North Wales is covered and in addition to BR standard-gauge
lines, the narrow-gauge Penrhyn and Padarn slate systems are also
seen. Ellis and his wife Norah celebrated their diamond wedding
anniversary in 2013, and Ellis passed on in April 2015 aged 92.
Their daughters, Louisa and Fiona, contacted film-maker and author
Michael Clemens whose late father was a friend of Ellis's. Ellis's
collection lives on today at films shows around the country given
by the author and now in this second of a number of books using his
photographic archive.
Boeing's 737 is indisputably the most popular and arguably the safest commercial airliner in the world. But the plane had a lethal flaw, and only after several disastrous crashes and years of painstaking investigation was the mystery of its rudder failure solved. This book tells the story of how engineers and scientists finally uncovered the defect that had been engineered into the plane.
