Thursday Metting with a speaker The Pursuit and Sinking of the Bismark    David Bickerton. Host K REDFORD

80 years ago, on 24^th May, more than a hundred British warships were involved in a desperate 5 day, 1,750 mile hunt for the mighty German battleship Bismarck, which disappeared for more than 24 hours and was almost within reach of safety before it was tracked down. David Bickerton’s father was a crewman aboard HMS Dorsetshire which was involved in the final showdown.

Host: K Redford
