Opinion

PICTURE FROM THE ARCHIVE: A brand-new, £15,000 Ford Mondeo estate dangles precariously 15 feet in the air, wedged tightly between a car transporter and a box lorry following a collision on the M5 motorway in July 1997. The ill-fated vehicle became one of Britain's very first "R" registration road casualties weeks before the official August rollout—having suffered extensive damage without ever rolling a single tyre onto the tarmac. Emergency recovery crews were faced with a complex logistical headache, cordoning off the carriageway to carefully winch down the airborne estate without causing further wreckage to the vehicles below.placeholder image

Nanny State, flooding and winter health – letters, plus an aerial view

PICTURE FROM THE ARCHIVE: Determined youngsters bound towards the finish line in burlap sacks during sports day at the Longmynd Adventure Camp in the summer of 1983. Captured in a field at Minton, the scene shows the simple, timeless joys of the tented summer getaway that provided a countryside escape for generations of children. Loaned by Alan Scriven, author of The Longmynd Adventure Camp and Me, the photograph reflects a deep personal history: Alan first arrived at the camp as a boy in 1965 and went on to spend 33 years there, eventually taking charge as 'Skipper'. Were you one of the youngsters who spent summer under canvas at the Longmynd Adventure Camp, or do you remember sports days at Minton back in 1983?placeholder image
