Coast guard along the West coast of Greece are on watch for a lone 73 y-o British sailor and the Tartiflette 2, missing for over a week and thought to be in Kefalonia area sea.

Apparently he's been found, safe and well, near Vardiani (Rabbit Island).

Seems the army engineers have been called in again to work on Poros bridge (the narrow one across to Aragia)

Little-known inventor of stereo and crucial WWII radar to be honoured with film on 75th anniversary of his death

The unsung inventor of stereo sound, and a radar system which helped Britain win the Second World War, is finally to be remembered in a new film made by the Universal Music Group.

Historians say electrical engineer Alan Dower Blumlein was as critical to the war effort as colleagues Alan Turing and Sir Bernard Lovell, yet few people have heard of him.
