In 1993 Britain will no longer be an island. Even before the Battle of Hastings in 1066 the histories of France and Britain have been closely connected. For centuries politicians, travellers and engineers have dreamed of a permanent, physical link joining Britain to the continent of Europe. In 1987 France and Britain signed an agreement to build the Channel Tunnel and early in 1993, the first freight and passengers will travel through. This book contains a model tunnel and train to make, with text covering a cartoon strip story from London to Paris via the Tunnel. A history of the project, its future and environmental questions are also covered.
Five hundered years after Columbus reached America, Concorde passengers can get there, from Europe, in only three hours. For nearly a quarter of a century this elegant aeroplane has been regularly making transatlantic flights faster than the speed of sound. This book tells the story of Concorde - explaining how it was built, how it flies, what is its future. There is a centre card section, to pull out and cut to make a model of Concorde.
