WHY THIS WEBSITE?
I have written two historical books (Published by Pen & Sword). Due to print publishing limits, they contain black and white photographs. Here, I provide readers with colour versions of those images, where possible. Also, when producing a book, its difficult to cram in all the pictures you want, so here I've added many extra pictures to fill-in the stories. When collecting and sorting data for a 100,000-word book you inevitably make mistakes. As I discover them, I post them here in the Plate legends.
FROM NORMANDY TO GERMANY IN A TANK
Interweaves the history of the Second World War with descriptions of tank warfare and the personal story of a grenadier guardsman, Arthur Ibbotson, who was lucky to survive.
​​
THE FULL STORY OF THE AIR AND SEA BATTLES OF THE FALKLANDS WAR
This book uses the latest released 'secret documents', plus many individual accounts from British and Argentine perspectives to describe the air and sea battles of the war. The book contains the maximum allowable number of images. I have thousands of images from the war that I have collected over many years. Here, I present many of those images, with an emphasis on providing those that are most relevant to the story in the book. I have provided figure legends that explain the relevance of the images. If I have used an image inappropriately, please contact me and I will remove it from the site.​​
Keywords: Falklands War; Air and Sea Battles; World War 2; Tank warfare; Warships and fighters.​​
