Did anyone watch George Clarke's Amazing Spaces tonight? They concentrated on building a caravan, based on a design done by a prisoner of war in a Japanese POW camp in Java. He was there three and a half year, and produced the most amazing technical drawings of a caravan he intended to build when he got home, to take his wife on holiday. He survived, but his journal containing the drawings wasn't found until thirty years after he died.
George Clarke and his buddy Will built a caravan to the specifications in the journal - down to the oak unit handles, the leaded glass windows, and even the crockery inside the cupboards.
I thought it was such an interesting programme - and i hope others take time to watch it.
