Rally de Portugal 1989

Round 3 of the 1989 World Rally Championship took place over the combined gravel and asphalt stages in Portugal. Joint championship leader and reigning world champion, Miki Biasion again led the Italian marque's entry. Able support came from Portuguese specialist, Markku Alen, and the dynamic Frenchman Didier Auriol. Alex Fiorio was also entered in an Integrale. The other joint leader, Ingvar Carlsson was absent, Mazda electing to give the event a miss after a disastrous Monte Carlo. Toyota were out in force and had three GTA's for Kankkunen, Waldegaard, and Sainz. Enjoy watching the cars 'yumping' almost at head height - without putting life and limb at the risk to the same extent as the Portuguese spectators.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
