We have been approached by the BBC who are proposing to do a short documentary about Wilkinson’s as part of a wider series entitled How We Won The War.
The idea of the programme is to look at the real stories of the ordinary people of the UK – the men women and children whose remarkable effort and determination helped win World War II.
The BBC are keen to speak with any survivor or eye-witness of the disaster.
In the 10 years or so since the creation of this website we are aware that many of our original correspondents have passed on.
However, can anyone now put us in touch with or know of the whereabouts of the following:
Mr Albert Lee (North Shields – Moor Houses – St Anselm’s)
Mr Larry Burdiss (Marden Estate)
Mr George Darling Black (Lincoln)
Mrs Patricia Lydon (North Shields nr Tynemouth Swimming Pool)
Mrs Millie Matthews (North Shields)
