Bryan and Andrew are part of the core team that is developing a first ever full biography of Sir Robert Watson-Watt, the developer of radar. Described by Winston Churchill as 'the man who saved England' during the 1940 Battle of Britain, Watson-Watt's remarkable life includes the period 1953 - 1965 when he lived in Canada and the US. We have a unique research angle to exploit. In 2017, one of our team members inherited a treasure trove of W-W’s personal memorabilia. The materials include W-W’s various medals, academic prizes, research papers from 1925 onwards, contemporary media reports, speeches, correspondence, books, and photographs – perhaps 1500 items, all the result of W-W’s second marriage to a Canadian woman (a W-W team member inherited these items from his grandfather, W-W’s Canadian stepson and the only child from W-W’s 3 marriages).
The intended Watson-Watt biography includes a book, and supporting multimedia platforms where Bryan and Andrew will lead different writing and research angles. A high level project that probes the life and work of a complex, often ego-driven, but fascinating character that is now attracting international attention. We anticipate project completion by late 2019.

Our follow up to the successful 2017 WWI Royal Newfoundland Regiment memoir A Boy from Botwood is nearing completion.
A Baron from Botwood tells the story of Baron Carl Falkenberg, Botwood-born, Royal Flying Corp fighter pilot ace. Amongst other unique stories, A Baron from Botwood includes Falkenberg's first hand account of the death and autopsy of 'Red Baron' Manfred Von Richktoven, and his conclusions that contribute to an enduring WWI controversy - who shot down the Red Baron?
