In April of 1945 the Japanese military command sent its prize battleship on an impossible kamikaze mission; to defeat a large US fleet off the coast of Japan. Her name was the Yamato and she was the largest and most technologically advanced battleship in history. With guns of awesome calibre massive armour she was considered to be virtually unsinkable. Yet she would be sunk in just four hours during one of the last naval battles of World War II. This is the story of the Battleship Yamato its creation as the flagship of Japanese naval power its part in the battle of Midway up to its last suicide sortie and of how its recent discovery has shed light on its final moments. In 1999 a Japanese salvage crew set off on a multi-million dollar mission to find the final resting place of the pride of Japan. Three hundred and fifty metres down the Yamato lay largely intact on the floor of the South China Sea. Some of the first ever pictures of the remains of history's largest battleship offer not only a solemn tribute to the brave soldiers who died for their country but also a clue to a mystery... what actually happened to the final moments of the Yamato.
We begin this DVD with an extensive look at the railways in the counties of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire; in particular the city of Ely and its surrounding railway routes. Filmed between 2000 and 2004 we concentrate mainly on the freight scene in these areas. The freight in both counties are mainly aggregate intermodel and deep sea container workings. Locomotive classes hauling these trains consist of 37 47 56 57 58 60 and of course the ubiquitous class 66. In addition to these freight workings we see the newly introduced ""One"" (formerly Anglia Railways) Train Operating Company seen in the summer of 2004. With the lowering of the Ipswich tunnel diesel hauled passenger trains en route to London Liverpool Street were diverted through Ely. Both Anglia and One liveries can be seen with scenes of Ely's magnificent cathedral. Moving a little east we filmed at various locations between Ely and Bury St Edmunds and finally we trek north across the flat lands of the Fens with its many unobstructed locations. Many freightliners can be seen bringing lots of colour to a somewhat barren landscape. Special trains such as steam and diesel in the form of Class 55 Deltics and Class 47s can also be seen in and around the Ely area with no fewer than 30 locations visited. With detailed location maps it all adds up to a fascinating and intensive programme. Some narration is added together with train details and head codes. Also in this DVD is a short pictorial of what else Ely has to offer other than great train locations.

The History Of The Motor Car
In the closing stages of the Second World War Air Marshal 'Bomber' Harris took the controversial decision to target civilians by laying waste to German cities. With waves of bombers crossing the German border many towns and cities were razed to the ground; one such city was Dresden. Tens of thousands of people were killed in the attacks that ultimately realised their intentions that of crushing German morale and bringing the war to an early end. However the debate still rages on unabated: was Harris the murderer of ordinary civilians or simply a man with strong enough constitution to adopt a tactic which would ultimately lead to victory?
