Simon R Posted 10 May , 2006 Share Posted 10 May , 2006 It's not a bad book, it has some useful (and staggering) figures re: shell production and the amount of resources used at the site. I think Barnbow is due a reappraisal and deserves a new publication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike10764 Posted 10 May , 2006 Share Posted 10 May , 2006 Barnbow also featured on the Ian Hislop "Not Forgotten" series on C4, where they were erecting a memorial nearby to those killed in the explosions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
