  1. Another good podcast Paul – glad to hear we keep you on your toes!

    It sounds as though you already have enough subjects for another series. Keep up the good work.

  2. Thanks for an excellent Q and A Paul. I especially liked the question on the guns. Do you remember a TV series in the 90s called Tales from the Map Room? There was one episode called A wood called Bourlon presented by Richard Holmes. It was about the role of maps and artillery and the Battle of Cambrai. Unfortunately I can’t find it anywhere on the Web.

  3. Hi John – I haven’t announced it yet but will be doing so tomorrow or Friday. I removed all your personal details from the above post as am sure you didn’t want those public. Keep an eye on your emails!
