Extreme Voyagers with Jeremy Batch

Thursday, 10^th April 2014 – Extreme Voyagers I with Jeremy Batch – certainly not to be missed…..

Was the propeller invented in 1836 by an Englishman, in 1776 by an American, in 1490 by an Italian or in 240 BC by a Greek?  How did a duck, a cockerel and a sheep come to be test pilots?  When was Stratford’s rocket factory set-up?  Plus: the story of the steam engine, the first submarine [1776], the first manned flight [1783], some “great ships” [from Brunel and others], a flying machine that was 800ft long, and a chance to revise some of your school physics!
