Charles Dawson - Piltdown & his other hoaxes - Andy McGrandle
Following his absorbing talk on Lidar, Andy now tells the story of a man so desperate for academic recognition that he routinely faked his archaeological finds. Piltdown Man was his most famous hoax but recent work has brought to light 38 other fakes.
Crime in 19th Century Leighton Buzzard - Kathryn Faulkner, archivist, Bedford Record Office
Kathryn is responsible for the LBO weekly series on WWI.
Bletchley Park - Nick Hill
Nick's talk includes the breaking of the Enigma Code and the much more advanced Lorenz encryption machine.
