This semi-documentary, which made stars of Jack Hawkins and John
Gregson, is a look at life in an RAF fighter station during the
Battle of Britain. Set in the Summer of 1940, a squadron of
Hurricanes are followed as they take on the massive wave of
Luftwaffe fighters and bombers that are intent on breaking down
Britain's defences as a prequel to a German invasion. Without the
bravery of these pilots Britain may well have been invaded.
Camelman Dreaming Australia's Last Great Camel Expedition Camelman
Dreaming is the true story of a dream that took fifteen years in
total to complete. The Darwin to Melbourne Thank You Camel
Expedition 2008-2009 resulted in over $30,000 raised for the
Children First Foundation along with national and world wide
awareness of the Foundations goals of saving and changing
children's lives in need of specialist medical procedures. Russell
Osborne, the creator of the Darwin to Melbourne Thank You Camel
Expedition 2008-2009, had been a lecturer in English on the Gold
Coast of Australia when in an instant, he had developed a
self-driven purpose to walk the continent of Australia with a herd
of camels for a children's charity after a bout of depression
following the death of his mother. Not knowing a single thing about
camels, camel expedition work, the deserts of Australia, navigation
and how to organize a transcontinental crossing through some of the
harshest and most isolated desert regions on the planet, he set his
goals with unwavering determination to 'Get the Job Done.' The
camel expedition arrived in Melbourne exactly the same time as the
successful separation operation of conjoined twins, Trishna and
Krishna, from Bangladesh, whom the founder of the Children First
Foundation, Moira Kelly AO, had arranged for the twins operation at
the Royal Children's Hospital. This book is Russell Osborne's
personal account of the thirteen years of preparation and the two
years of walking across the continent of Australia to achieve the
dream.
