Paperback. Zustand: Good. Possibly the most important UK wireless traffic in World War I was handled by a unit formed in 1938 by Brigadier Richard Gambier-Parry head of MI6 Section VI - the communications division of SIS. This book tells of its formation and includes diary entries by one of the 'founding fathers' recording the secret meetings that took place, and the assembly of its talented staff. It reports the earlier days of the original SIS wireless 'Station X' based in Barnes in south west London, and the building of its second station in a bungalow in Surrey with the strange name of 'Funny Neuk' - which turned out to be owned by Admiral Sir Hugh Sinclair - 'C' - Chief of Secret Intelligence Services. The units wireless station at Bletchley Park is described and its replacement by the stations at nearby Whaddon Hall which then became the wartime headquarters of Section VI. It documents the work of our agents in embassies abroad, and of those in German occupied territories; the story of Churchill's personal wireless operator, and there is the description by a German soldier of the Afrika Corps of his operating an Enigma machine at Rommel's headquarters in the desert. The curious story of 'Black Propaganda' is told and the units handling of the military ULTRA traffic out to commanders in the field. Personal tales by those who were part of this most secret of units abound in the book and it is an important record of people and events that-it is no exaggeration to say-helped to win the war. Whilst essential, the technical side of the tale has not been allowed to dominate the book which is profusely illustrated.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. 'My Family's Five Generations in the Bathroom Industry'. No DJ, heavy, bottom of cover faded (see own image).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The fourth generation of his family to run their bathroom business, Humphersons, Geoffrey Pidgeon was a key figure in the industry for more than 60 years. Amongst his many achievements, he was one of the first people to import the contemporary Italian products which transformed British bathrooms from the 1980's onwards. He also served on many important industry bodies. As well as finally despatching the myth surrounding Thomas Crapper, this book is a charming combination of family memoir and a fascinating, sometimes seamy, social history of London. Alongside serious factual information, it is full of unexpectedly high drama - with tales of stolen glory, strange goings on in London cemeteries, bitter rivalries and the never-before-told story of Winston Churchill's bathroom and a piece of chewing gum. Beautifully illustrated with drawings and photographs, his tour of bathroom evolution also includes commentary on some of the weirder side-lines and digressions of sanitation. Essentially though, it is the story of a remarkable bathroom dynasty, spanning the generations from the technical revolution started by Frederick Humpherson to Geoffrey and his three sons' own legacy of change. Geoffrey Pidgeon was stationed at Bletchley Park from 1943 - 46 and he is also the author of the hugely successful book 'The Secret Wireless War'.…
