11. The White Queen

Of late the BBC has churned out some fascinating historically based programs.


The White Queen has been one such series not to be missed.  I must admit I watch the actual program when in the bath, the joy of having an iPad, provided one does not drop in. I have often had to find time to look up some of the protagonists or events in WikapediA and enjoyed the quest to delve deeper. What I can't believe is the distances covered and speed of troop movements.

For the enthusiastic modeller we can offer this model as seen on a number of occasions during the series. The Mayflower would also be a slightly later example of vessels used.
