Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Running Casualty is really very simple: you have to love everybody, you have to listen to everybody; and when in doubt you do just what Sister O'Hanlon tells you' - Mr William Rutherford, A & E Consultant. When Kate O'Hanlon started work at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, the people brough…t in to the A & E department were suffering from medical emergencies or were victims of road traffic accidents and Saturday night scuffles. So when the telephone rang on 26 June, 1966 with the news that there had been a shooting in Malvern Street, no one in the department believed it. Soon such incidents became daily occurrences and the Royal went on to treat more victims of the Troubles than any other hospital. Kate spent sixteen years as sister in charge of A & E, working through many of the darkest days of the Troubles. Told with her trademark blend of warmth, compassion and humour, this is her fascinating and extraordinary story of nursing on the front line. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Ulster volunteers began by organizing against the British during the Home Rule Crisis and finished by fighting and dying as British soldiers at the Somme. Their tragic story has since become a core theme in Ulster Protestant tradition and mythology. For this radically new and unsentimental acco…unt, Orr interviewed veterans of the Somme. Their eloquent voices, and those of friends and families, expose the reality of that bloody summer of 1916 and its devastating impact on a tight-knit community.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Northern Ireland has an enviable, extensive and often unappreciated role in aviation history. With a focus on aircraft manufacturing from the first pioneering steps by Lilian Bland, Joseph Cordner and a young Harry Ferguson, through a century of developments in production and research, this illustr…ated volume highlights that history and the people who played a part. Using over 300 black and white and colour images, with extended captions, the authors take a chronological look at how, from innovative beginnings, a successful aircraft and aerospace industry has thrived locally through periods of war and peace. Aircraft from both military and civil backgrounds are featured including the early experiments, licensed military production, flying boats, conversions, fascinating research designs, jet and missile developments, and successful transport and passenger aeroplanes. Details of both locations and people help to bring the story to life. Written by two experts on the topic and drawing on the archives and collections of Bombardier Belfast and Ulster Aviation Society, this volume contains much previously unpublished material. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the early fifties, the county of Sussex presented a railway scene vastly different from that of today. Its rail network was a mix of electrified main lines connecting coastal resorts to London, which were the domain of first generation Southern electric multiple units dating from the pre-World W…ar II period, steam worked connecting routes that followed meandering paths across the difficult terrain of the Weald, plus several more traditional branch lines which were suffering a steady decline in passenger traffic as bus services and the private car provided increasingly attractive alternatives in terms of travel time and convenience. Steam locomotives of the pre grouping predecessors of the Southern Railway (the SE&CR, LB&SCR and the LSWR) and much of the passenger rolling stock, with a similar ancestry, were still in evidence. It was such a combination that conferred so much charm to the nonelectrified lines that threaded an area of great natural beauty. Time seemed to have stood still in many of these railway backwaters. This book does not purport to offer either a comprehensive or detailed history of the Sussex railways.Rather, it seeks to convey through photographs something of the flavour of a time fifty years past, by focusing on four categories of line. Firstly, a steam main line route, and more specifically, the section that extended south from Tunbridge Wells to the coastal resorts of St Leonards and Hastings. Secondly, my camera recorded the somewhat urbanized branch line that linked the Hastings main line at Crowhurst to Bexhill West. Branch lines in Sussex were characterized by a number of trans-Wealden secondary routes which provided the traveller with a leisurely, but scenic, journey punctuated by frequent stops at stylish stations serving bucolic villages. The example selected here is the East Grinstead - Lewes line, before it made any claim to fame as a pioneer site for rail line preservation. Its counterparts were the appropriately named 'Cuckoo Line' linking Eridge and Polegate, the Eridge - Lewes via Uckfield section which survived partial truncation to assume a new commuter function, and the Christs Hospital - Shorehamby- Sea link, which never attained its theoretical role as a diversionary route for the Brighton main line.Perhaps of lesser significance was the branch line which diverged from the electrified mid-Sussex route at Pulborough and headed in a westerly direction, carefully avoiding most population centres en route, until it joined the Portsmouth direct line at Petersfield in Hampshire. Lastly we visit one of the most obscure backwaters, the Chichester - Midhurst line, which clung to life for many years after the loss of its passenger service and, even in its final years, refused to go quietly.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Road racing is a sport that takes man and machine to extremes. These hard roads demand everything - total commitment, total faith - from those who race on them. So what makes these men race? What is the fascination that the sport holds for the riders, their families and the fans? In "Hard Roads", S…tephen Davison - the world's number one road-racing photographer and a man who has unparalleled access to the riders - answers that question. In his incredible photographs and accompanying text, he captures the essence of the sport - the all-consuming passion; the incredible skill and speed; and, always, the spectre of death on the horizon. "Hard Roads" is Stephen Davison's unforgettable testament to the sport he loves, a book that captures the sense of the ordinary and the extraordinary that is the essence of road racing.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 15th April 1912 - a date that shook the western world - the day the great ship, the Titanic, sank, over 1,500 people drowned, a catastrophe so awful and so unexpected that it continues to fascinate and haunt us today. 31st May 2011 was the 100th anniversary of the launch of the Titanic. Thousands o…f people gathered in Belfast at advantage points including the top of the Albert Clock to witness the launch of ship number 401 at 13 minutes past noon. In "Titanic - Belfast's Own", Stephen Cameron looks at this most famous of ships from a new perspective. He tells of the conception and birth of SS 401, as she was known in the yard. Extensively illustrated, and packed with detailed information on her early days, this is the story of bringing a dream to life. So ambitious was this dream that men were to die before ever the ship was launched. But even when she had left Ulster's shores to sail to Southampton on the first leg of her fateful voyage, the Titanic had not finished with the people of Ulster. In a gripping and heart-rending chapter Stephen Cameron writes of Ulster people who sailed with the mighty ship. For many it was to be their last journey, as the dream turned to nightmare and the glory to pain. This new, revised and updated edition is available to accompany Stephen's new publication: "Belfast Shipbuilders - A Titanic Tale", 9781906578787. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Introduction - 15 March 1926 saw the opening of a new six-mile car ferry service between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. The Island terminal was situated at the mouth of Wootton Creek, in the tiny village of Fishbourne. Remote from the main Ryde to Newport road, the community comprised little mor…e than a cluster of houses and an inn surrounding a pleasant circular green with a large oak tree at its centre. Today, Fishbourne is the principal gateway to the Isle of Wight; the village, however, is still bereft of a shop and has no other public transport links. The ferry service, which became popularly known as the Fishbourne car ferry by Island residents, remained a secondary route for the first thirty-five years of its life, but since the early 1960s it has grown at a phenomenal rate. As more and more people became car owners so they abandoned the traditional passenger ferries, instead taking their cars with them across the Solent. In the twenty-nine years between 1961 and 1990 the vehicular capacity of the Fishbourne ferry fleet grew by 1000% whilst the capacity of the nearby Portsmouth to Ryde passenger ferry decreased by a corresponding proportion.All of the car ferry routes to the Island have prospered but none more so than the Fishbourne car ferry. This is largely due to the convenience of its location and heavy investment in new tonnage at a time when it was really needed. The Fishbourne ferry's history can be split into three distinct phases. The first began when the Southern Railway transferred the Island terminal of a primitive towboat service from a tidally restrictive berth next to Ryde Pier. Over the next four years they transformed the service by introducing three small, slow, but revolutionary ferries. These ships lasted for over thirty years, the longest period in recent history (and probably ever) that a cross Solent service has operated with a completely unchanged fleet. The second phase, between 1961 and 1983, was a period when the operating company constantly struggled to accommodate the inexorable increase in traffic. A pair of new ferries soon proved to be decidedly undersized and two considerably larger ships were added to the fleet.When the later pair where still quite new their capacity was increased further by the installation of mezzanine decks but still the company was hard pressed to cope with the traffic. The operating company took the bull by the horns and over a period of seven years introduced a fleet of four so-called 'super ferries' during the third and current phase of the life of the route. When capacity problems once again became an issue an even larger, fifth ferry was added to the fleet in 2001 confirming the route as the principal gateway to the Isle of Wight. Today, the operator is faced with the same dilemma as at the end of the first and second phases, ie the service is full to capacity at peak periods. Further radical changes will probably take place in the near future. This book looks back at the history of the Fishbourne car ferry and speculates on what may lie ahead. It examines traffic trends over the years and takes an objective look at fares - always the most hotly debated topic on cross-Solent ferries, but one that is rarely discussed in books of this type.This book is intended to be of general interest and should provide something for local historians and shipping enthusiasts alike. Also placed on record are some of the more interesting technical features of the ships (a frequently ignored subject) as well as recollections of the men who operated them. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
