You need to look up the video with the 'Story of the Unknown Warrior' along with amazing and moving musical accompaniment from HM Royal Marines Band. The Cavell Van didn't pass through Bodiam but went straight from Dover to London Victoria before the procession the following day to Westminster Abbey for the internment.
Great place always visiting, Great museum close to the spitfires in car park couple of quid well worth a visit if like me you love second world war aircraft. My son practically lives there involved in the museum and can obtain information on where you can find second world war aircraft parts for your self
That sounds interesting - I’ve always wondered if there might be any old crash sites still to be discovered.
Crazy, didn't know that existed, I'll be following in your footsteps in the days ahead enabling me to reminisce 👍
Great stuff. The place is filled with memories 😊
Thank you, Tudor, you have just found me another place to visit when I'm next in Kent.
It’s worth a visit if only to relive a few memories 👍
@@MartinJSmithPhotographyUK check website for opening times, believe it is Wednesdays and Sundays 👍🏻
Those early flyers must have been a certain breed of people. They knew that they were risking their lives every time they flew, and still they did it. It's a bit like the formula 1 drivers of the sixties and early seventies who were willing to risk their lives every weekend.
The true sense of the word "Pioneer". They probably considered health and safety but there weren't too many options available to them back in those days!
Good stuff mate - you mentioned a pub where Chapman worked and murdered - in 1888 Chapman was living at George Yard Buildings where Martha Tabram was murdered and approximately 200ft from Bucks Row where Polly Nicholls was Apprentĺy also slain . There is alot of " evidence " that points the finger his way but I will leave it there - Thanks .
Indeed. He was one of the prime suspects!
Why do they cover up these sites.
I think to preserve it since it’s so exposed both to the weather and also the public?
We used to drive down here all the time in big groups! Screaming woods was always a scary experience Once we was walking through the graveyard and one of the lads took a candle from one of the graves, when we left we was in the car behind his. The car rolled over after turning the corner at normal speed!
OMG that’s spooky. It’s like “you should know better” I hope they were alright.
Great and interesting video Tudor! My thoughts that it was a chap called Aaron Kosinski, but that’s just a theory
He’s definitely one of the prime candidates isn’t he?
We lived locally and visited the Black Horse once several years ago when my daughter was about ten…she was walking through the pub and fell over …twice! In the same spot..telling me that she felt someone had pushed her over…but no one was there!😮..great video :)
Oh that sounds eerie!
Jack the Ripper is a very difficult subject to cover because most just do a video on who they think it was and almost forget the victims. You cover alot of good points and not showing victims photo etc shows great respect as anyone can easily find them on line if they wish to look deeper. Whitechapel has changed so much and not much left from 1888 . I've walk around up there myself and looked on maps to try to find sites etc. I think that The 5 were all JTR and Martha Tabram. I think that alot more of the Whitechapel murder were JTR . Think the police were at a loss and felt to try to calm public order said Mary Kelly the last but I think there were more . Because Kelly was mutilated so badly and her organs layed out etc I don't believe it was a crime of passion by her love . I belive that a man JTR would be outwardly normal Mr Nobody blend into the back ground with knowledge of the area he's your man. Get a map look at where Charles Cross/Lechmere live and worked look at his route to work and The 5 and Martha Tabram . To take even further read the book Cutting point By Christer Holmgren . Good respectfull video great overlays 👍
Thanks. Yes I wanted to see what Whitechapel and the victims locations looked like now as opposed to making a video about the attacks and the suspects. You make good points. I’ve never considered that the police might have said that Mary Kelly was the last JTR victim just to calm the public, especially since there were other murders after Mary Kelly that could be attributed to JTR.
Great video but yes we will never know who the ripper was.
Charles Allen Lechmere (the guy who was found at the scene of Polly Nichols murder). QC James Scobie says the case against him is strong enough for a modern murder trial.
Smashing Video Tud' ❤
❤️ ta very much!
You might be interested to know that, as a small boy, I came up here from Battle with my mother and grandmother, when they came hop picking. The whole family did over the years. The top photo frame to the right of the tv screen in the waiting room shows my family hop picking in the 1940's. There is still a link in that I am now one of the Stationmasters at Bodiam.
That’s a wonderful link/connection. Thanks for sharing that 👍
What an amazing find and its not very deep under the soil ,maybe someone found something of interest with a metal detector around there ,the Romans certainly made buildings to last 😀
The did archaeological digs way back when but decided to cover it up to protect it. Thankfully they didn’t bury it under heaps of top soil. It’s certainly a treasured find 👍
Another fabulous video 😊 The thumbnail is great We thought you showed lots of respect for the victims. Your edit was great. Loved how you put the old photos in. Thanks for sharing Hope you're enjoying this lovely weather
Thanks very much! Yes the victims deserve respect on this subject. Weather wise - too hot for me lol.
@@Tudor_Travels it's probably a bit cooler up here in East Yorkshire. We're off on our Scottish roadtrip on Friday up to Orkney so we're enjoying the sunshine now 🤣
Orkney! Wow you can expect some wind I reckon. Enjoy your trip 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed this video Tudor i am always interested in anything to do with Jack the Ripper , loved the video editing showing us what the murder areas used to look like ,my theory on who he was is the Royal surgeon Sir John Williams also the name John is sometimes Jack , and it is always someone you never suspect ,and i think the police might have known all along but were told to cover the Rippers identity up especially if he was to do with the Royal's, and to keep the story going it must have made loads of money for the newspaper industry and London itself for visitors as than people loved a murder mystery , cannot wait for another of your videos like this 😀
Oh wow Vicky. I’d never even heard of Sit John Williams being a suspect. Shows how much I know or rather how little I know. It’s an interesting theory though. I’m personally of a mind that there were several killers and to avoid suspicion they possibly made their killings look like copycat killings. Will we ever find out? I doubt it. I was very interested in the Maybrick connections when it came out. Another possible contender although the “experts” debunk that idea 🤷🏻♂️
@@Tudor_TravelsI too was interested in him and actually bought a book about him to do with the murders,
Very sensitively handled. The hero worshiping of JTR by some is nauseating. Informative, and respectful to all the women who were horrifically butchered.
Thank you. I was hoping not to sensationalise but rather just visit the locations. I must admit it helped my see the scope of Whitechapel then and now!
It's good to be "nosey" 🙂
Fed by curiosity 🤣
Expertly compiled. I have a much better sense of all of this. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Informative and entertaining as always!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is one of my favourite subjects. I worked for the Royal Mail in London back in 1980, and we had a chap who liked to take us around all the sites. This was in the middle of the night in a Royal Mail van. We did the Jack the Ripper sites. I watch Jack the Ripper Tour on CZcams, which is very fascinating.
Wow that must have been a great but eerie experience! Yeah I’m subscribed to that Jack the Ripper tour channel too.
Like the editing and final production of this video Tudor, 👍🏻 I can't make my mind up re. Suspect 🤔 I'm going to need to watch again and again 😏
Those suspects are so many. It does make it difficult to pin-point one specific culprit. I’m of the opinion that there may have been multiple killers 🤷🏻♂️
Argh, I wonder what you've got planned 🤔🤔 I'm on my way back from London on HS1. It's been manic for me, shame. Will be going into Folkestone during next week and will take a look at the dig, sounds interesting 👍🏻
I’m here now in London taking a break. Filmed half of my adventure. 5 more locations to visit 👍
I started my marshalling career down at Lydden in 2004 it's certainly changed a lot since then. In answer to your question, Yes you can walk down into the Paddock area at Brands Hatch the area behind the pitlane isn't easy to see much of the cars though due to the tight space.
That’s good to know if I ever get there 👍
I had my first flying lesson on a DH82a Tiger Moth (G-ASKP) here (31 August 1996) & the Pilot instructor.... legendary "Flightline" (Discovery channel) was Brendan O'Brien - I was blown away so to speak he was so nice, friendly & fun definatly made one of my best days of my life in flying. than kyou Brendan! Anyone know if Brendan is still flying?
Amazing. Do you still fly? I’m not sure I’d personally be confident to take to the skies 🤣
Fantastic experience, yep Brendan is a top guy, taught me to fly 10years ago. He's still flying most days and still performing at airshows.
Ah great memories from days watching rallycross at Brands and Lydden in the 80's 90's and the Naughties . Was Will Gollop there ?
I’m not sure if Will Gollop was there but one old chap was being interviewed from the commentary box. Maybe that was him?
@@Tudor_Travelsthat was Arthur Debenham and yes Will was there but only Saturday I believe
Ps i did here creep also , and something at the end,( or was that a crafty edit😂)
I’ll have to rewatch and see what everyone is talking about!
That was my fault (the creep bit). I’d had a small video section of the BBC programme Ghosts but it got a copyright claim so I edited it out - I obviously missed the tail end of the clips so it sounds like the word “creep”.
Just found your channel, loved it. I only live 6 miles away from Pluckley, and about 5 years ago i used to keep my horses on a farm in Pluckley, now i used to smell burning quite frequently, and being a farm with hay and straw i always looked ,but never saw any signs of a fire either on the farm or surrounding area, but thought nothing of it. Until one morning whilst id just got there and opend the tea room,i looked down the yard and saw a man run outof a barn, with what looked like a rucksack on his back and wearing a woolly hat and all black. I instantly ran down the yard to see if hed done any damage, and were he went. Well long story short , he had completely vanished ,and it was impossible, as the time it took me to run down to were he went behind a row of stables,i would still of seen him on the land. Now a couple of days later whilst telling the owner, he jokingly said " maybe it was the pilot". Now having always been interested in paranormal since a child this sparked my curiosity, so i delved deeper. And apparently a plane crashed somewhere close to this farm, and there have been sightings of a man wandering around, described as wearing black clothes and something on his back. Now the pilot failed to eject ,so sadly died in the crash, and also along with the sightings is also the smell of burning, when no fires can be seen. So was this the pilot i saw, i certainly cant explain were he went. Ive another experience not in Pluckley but a couple of miles up the road, but ill save that for another time. Ive subbede to this channel and your other other ones.thanks for great content.
That’s fascinating. I’d not heard of a story of a downed pilot but considering the close proximity to RAF Lashenden (as it was in older times) it wouldn’t surprise me to hear of planes crash landing whilst trying to “make it home”. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Fab video Really enjoyed this 😊 Hope you are well Morgs Jo and Boo
Thank you! You too!
Great video some classic machinery there must pay a visit cheers
It's definitely a great place to watch the racing but I also love that you can walk around the paddocks and watch all the activity!
That was absolutely brilliant Tudor 👌
Thanks John. It's becoming a regular haunt for me 😊
excellent video . I'd like to give my thoughts on the 7 lead coffins , being a retired plumber who used to do leadwork I suspect that there was in fact one lead coffin , made of 7 pound (per square foot ) lead . One of the heaviest gauges , and soldered shut.That would make sense , and got slightly changed over time.
That would definitely make sense - can you imagine the weight of seven lead coffins 🤣
Thank you so much, I have just come across your channel. I live in Sth Australia. My family came from Kent in 1839, and my g g grandfather, a Heneker, married a Russel, from Pluckley. I have done genealogy of the family and apparently the Russel family from Pluckley was quite a large one (as they were I guess back then). I had heard or read that Pluckley was the most haunted town in the UK. It was lovely to see the town and all the different buildings and history. xxx
That’s amazing. I love a bit of genealogy. It’s great that you can trace some of your ancestors back to Pluckley 👍
Thanks for the video. I was the signalman at Wittersham Road that day, it was good to speak briefly whilst you were there.
Oh yeah you mentioned that I might not catch it at Northiam catch it at the end. I went the wrong way but it was fun seeing two trains at Wittersham 👍
At Bodiam it is the actual carriage that carried the coffin of the unknown warrior it was built at Ashford railway works, it also carried the coffins of Edith Cavell and Captain Fryatt who were both executed in the First World War.
Wow that’s good to know. I wasn’t sure if it was a replica. It makes it all that more poignant!
@Tudor_Travels these carriages were built to carry luggage for the pullman service Golden Arrow ferry train
As a volunteer at the museum you missed the poster for the East Kent Railway which is an original one but has a few mistakes on it. Rolvenden is the depot where they repair the engines.
Were you a volunteer? I wouldn’t have known to even look for the poster 🤷🏻♂️
@Tudor_Travels I am a volunteer, I shall be on duty in the museum on Wednesday 24th July and would be willing to show you the poster and we have a booklet available on the Cavell van.
I shall be at the Museum on 7th August not 24th July due to covid
Some people chase storms….Tudor chases trains😎
🤣
Haha brilliant great video saw you filming i was driving the terrier that day... albeit im only a trainee driver at present. hope you enjoyed your visit was a perfect weekend for it
Nice one. Was the Terrier the train I was chasing? I had a lot of fun especially since I didn’t know what to expect. I hope your training goes well 👍
@Tudor_Travels that it was yes the smaller engine aha. It's going somewhere just got to keep at it takes a long time to learn. Did well to catch it as much as you did especially after wittersham it's very out the way there !
Keep going. You’ll smash it. Yeah I turned left at Wittersham and got a bit lost. I should have headed back to rolvenden and turned left 🤣
🇬🇧 I used to go with Richard , to the Black Horse, Pluckley in 1965. Richard passed away aged 22. In ever loving memory of Richard.
🙏
Me and Cathy love steam trains and we will be visiting this railway in September. Thanks for another lovely video.
I’m also wondering on a second video but this time being a passenger on the train. Not sure it’d make riveting content for a video though. I seem to enjoy standing on the outside near the engine 👍
I think it looks better from the outside limited views from a ride along.
Excellent 😉 you've done Shepherdswell railway station a while back and Kent and East Sussex Railway. Maybe Bluebell Railway next 🤔 😎 🤣 👌🏻
I’ll have to investigate the Bluebell railway - I’ve only ever been there once as a background extra for the series Black Mirror. I was filmed as a passenger on the train but being at the station was a buzz 👍
I absolutely love steam trains. These are so lovely looking and the sounds, you can't beat it. Last time I went on a steam train was for a short journey on the way to the Norfolk broads. Wonderful to see and hear, thanks.
Thanks for watching. I love the nostalgia these old trains bring!
Just to let you know ,the USAAF was the United States Army Air Force, not the United States of America Air Force as described by Yourself. The United States Air Force (USAF) came into being in 1947 !
Ah that’s good to know. I’ll try and remember that for future reference 👍
This was a Colonel Stephens railway as is the railway at Tenterden and the line is mentioned in the museum
Yeah there’s a picture of him (I think or at least a plaque) in the cafe 👍
34:56, just as you say "can't move on" a voice says " creep" ??
I don’t hear those things in “Real Time”.
I heard it too.
I heard it too!
Loved every minute of it!
Thanks very much 🙏
I thought the most haunted village in England was Borley in Suffolk!
I’ve not heard if that place. I’ll have to check it out!
That burnt down in the 1930s..Borley rectory..
