The one time that Alderney won that Cup, was when a Royal Navy ship just happened to be visiting Braye Harbour and the Alderney team got stacked with sailors! Part of Island Folklore ever since!
Hi! Thankyou for this. I grew up in Jersey and went to Guernsey and France lots of times. I only went to Alderney once, for a day-trip but I did at least get to fly on a little yellow plane and ride a little red tube train. I would really love to go back, especially as I'm now old enough to drink. Great stuff about the Nazi occupation as well, all a bit sad and pointless really wasn't it? Cheers.
RVP - Rendezvous Point - All Airports have RVP's including well just about everywhere & anywhere really. Essentially they are a 'Muster' point for all off airport external emergency services before being allowed access to the airfield in the event of an emergency, so I thought I'd throw this in just in case you wanted to know that the occasional nerd watches your wonderful content. I adore Jersey it is my favourite place in all of the universe, and where in learnt it was ok to be a kid at Fort Regent back then accessed by cable car.
Thanks Paul, the more you know! Made by nerd for other nerds! Not seen much of Jersey yet but will have a video up from there soon. Thanks for watching!
@@helloantoniotraveladventures Gosh thank you so much for replying, Jersey is very special to me for countless reasons, I utterly adore the place but I love your content from the other CI’s Elizabeth Castle / Jersey War Caves (aka German underground hospital) are great starting points - St Helier is pricy for a pint but a joyous place to be “Dog & Sausage” recommended.
All that concrete poured on the Atlantic Wall and all the blood sweat and tears that went into it and most of it brached in less than 12 hours so sad for the slave workers

29:20 the bar, "Chez" has a controversial past; and then you left us hanging...
found a BBC article from 2015 which mentions one of their sketchy former owners
What's the goss?
Very interesting wander around Alderney, such a unique little island. Sounds like you enjoyed your stay there. How many pubs are there on the island?
Eight I think. And you're dead right Dik, I've booked to go back for my birthday! Hope all is well with you
Very good presentation, thank you! As originally from Guernsey, I have of course never been to Alderney 😉😉
😂 So many Guerns tell me this, or that they never went until covid! Cheers for watching
Loved it but you might want to review your East and West compass points !
Happens sometimes when recording live!
1:00 don't you mean far east heading to the airport in the west?
Yes you're right

Absolutely sad and pointless! I just wish humanity would learn from past mistakes. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the recommendations Paul, I'll try to visit them next time I'm on Jersey!
FYI pallots steam museum in Jersey has a steam train that is running Easter to October I think
Another reason for me to visit Jersey, alongside the Nigel Mansell Collection!
Have you been on the Alderney railway?
It runs every Saturday in the summer months and only costs £10 per ride to mannez and back
Yes I have! Did the Christmas special back in December. Even won a tub of quality street in the raffle
@@helloantoniotraveladventuresnice! I went on it last Saturday!
My dad is the light house keeper😀

A sad tale indeed
