• And It Made History: The Rigid Airship | DVD | (30/04/2012) from £21.02   |  Saving you £-8.03 (-61.80%)   |  RRP £12.99

  The main types of airship are non-rigid (or blimps), semi-rigid and rigid. They are lighter than air aircraft or aerostats that can be propelled and steered through air using rudders, propellers and similar tools. This is the story of the rigid airship, which includes fascinating and rarely seen early archive footage, picking up a couple of centuries after the launch of the first hot air balloons, including Graf Ferdinand von Zeppelin, showing his early work from the beginning of the twentieth century in Germany, including the infamous disaster as the airship Hindenburg caught fire when coming into land on 6 May 1937 after an Atlantic crossing, killing 36 out of the 97 people abroad, effectively terminating intercontinental passenger airship travel. Even before passenger travels, the airship was, unsurprisingly, deployed in a military capacity, both as observation platforms and for dropping bombs during the First World War – and it was at the conclusion of that war that further development of the airship really took off, not only in Graf Zeppelin’s Germany but notably in England and the USA. This programme has packed an amazing amount of historical and technical information into its 50 minute running time, which is both entertaining and informative.

• Kursk, the | DVD | (31/12/2012) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  In August 2000 the pride of the Russian navy and its 118 crew members lay at the bottom of the Barents sea. The unthinkable had happened. The Kursk the world's most technologically advanced nuclear submarine and flagship of the Russian Fleet had sunk. The Kremlin's explanation was that it was caused by an accidental explosion of an old fashioned torpedo. This version was readily accepted by the Russian and international press. However the real causes of the tragedy have never been exposed. Until now. Four years later after a long investigation A Submarine in Troubled Waters unveils the contradictions lies and secrets created by the authorities at the time and reveals a more disturbing story involving a collision with an American submarine and the hostile firing of a torpedo. Mystery surrounds the tragedy - Why were there so many foreign submarines in the area that day? Why were Chinese military officials present? Why did the rescue effort take days to begin and what was CIA Director Tenet doing at the Kremlin immediately after the sinking when no chief of the CIA had even been to Russia before? This amazing documentary asks if the crew of the Kursk were sacrificed in a game of geo-political brinkmanship and reveals the high-stake strategies now being played out between Russia the USA and China in a post cold war world. The film also examines the political military and economic policies developed by Vladimir Putin which are intimately linked with the event and his tightening control of media and government in Russia. A Submarine in Troubled Waters is constructed like a counter espionage documentary. It underlines the gap between a nation torn apart by a human tragedy and a government willing to stop at nothing to reach its global aims.
