alex.. 
we might be able to find out more now thanks to your info...
and a visit to the new site [WW2] might provide me with some extra details... i think it's possible to ask questions there... so they'll get a visit from me pretty soon...
kat... there is a magazine and i'm pretty sure that it showed how to build one of the robots.. might have been a reduced model tho'... but still

that reminds of the story when all the little ships and boats left for england to rescue the soldiers on the beach of france, some boats must have come from the essex area to rescue the soldiers.

hi loup another tip to find about local essex (historical) news is though local newspapers. some local newspapers have news stories that go back 10 or 20 years or more.
loup i will go and read the entry.

loup this indeed a very good entry. it reminds me of the history classes i used to have about the various tribes that came from europe and settled here. english was very different then and more like german although there were norman influences.

*waves* hi Kat and all
Loup, if your getting so much history of Essex, how about a seperate page about History of Essex?
Essex is a pretty big county, with loads of 'local' papers here's a link for mine, Kats and Xians
