You have an amazing archive of audio. How did you acquire them? We only usually hear the most fsmiliar quotes/items in TV drama, docs & films about WWII.
This is history and not just nostalgia! Never heard this before and I've been a World War 2 buff since childhood! Also great to teach kids about "history and how it shouldn't and won't repeat itself" (my opinion). Amazing times they lived in even though ti d doesn't sound like we are today! Thanks for this !
Can only imagine what it must have been like hearing about this as it was developing at the time. At least back then they didn't have 24 hour news and got a bit of respite.
As I understand it the idea was to rearrange who heard what on which frequency so that the Germans couldn't use BBC radio signals from known transmitters in known places as an aid to accurate bombing. Under the revised arrangements several adjoining transmitters used the same frequencies so as to devalue their use as electronic landmarks.
@@sheep1903 Same reason TV was switched off, as it was feared that enemy would use the signal to guide them. Also that remaining local staff could decamp to London, to assist with the national network.
"Daddy; is this bad news?"

I think we would have been applauding the forces, the ARP, WRVS & all volunteers every Thursday at 8pm, if this occured today.

Probably to allow the bandwidth to be used for military/emergency purposes

He says “gnydia” rather than “Gdynia”
Late august must have been tense. Especially when hitler wanted to invade earlier
Did the government give daily downing street briefings during the war?
In contrast, Prince Charles sounds as if he were born on the wrong side of the tracks!
