		<description><![CDATA[David Watkin interview with Peter Handford This interview was recorded in the garden of Peter Handford on the 1st October 2002, by Barry Coward. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-6FSjumapk In 1985 Peter won an Oscar and a Bafta for his work on Sidney Pollack&#8217;s Out of Africa. He also worked alongside David on Charge of the Light Brigade (1968) and Oh! What a Lovely War (1969). During the war he was part of the British Expeditionary Force evacuated when the Germans overran France. He returned as a cameraman on the D-Day landings. Handford was a modest man who did not care for the fuss and glamour of the film industry. In his spare time he used film recording techniques to capture the vanishing world of steam railways. He established the renowned record label Transacord which is dedicated to steam railway recordings. His collection of steam recordings is now lodged with the National Railway Museum in York.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1997 was a difficult and stressful year. The “Gays in the military” campaign was in full swing and I was under intense media scrutiny. My neighbour had just called to let me know that, once again, journalists had been looking in my rubbish bins. That morning I also found a live 9mm round on my doorstep, courtesy of Chapter 18 on whose death list I had achieved a significant promotion. With the post came a letter from a member of the public. Supportive, encouraging and warm, the author displayed an understanding of the pressure I was under. I replied in detail thanking the writer and explaining what our plans were for the campaign. A couple of weeks later a package arrived. Inside was a delightful letter in a now familiar green ink which thanked me for an unexpected response and enclosed his book “which you may find a little amusing”.  It was only then that I realised an emotional connection with the verdant correspondent and my last days in the Royal Navy. 1994 had seen us at sea for all but one month in the South Atlantic, the Falklands and Antarctica.  On our last night at sea before entering Portsmouth, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Watkin died at the age of 82 in his mews house in Brighton at 10.15pm on the 19th of February, 2008 This must come as a shock to those of you who did not know of the severity of his illness, or were unaware of the speed of his decline in health. Those of us with him during the last days knew with what courage and fighting determination he confronted the inevitability of his cancer. His spirit, wicked humour, and relish for life were with him to the end, undiminished as he lost control of his body. Everything above the neck is wonderful, he would say, everything beneath, a nightmare. The hearing is the last of the senses to be surrendered, and he listened at the last to Mozart piano sonatas and Richard Strauss. Readers of his two printed memoirs will know the rich fabric of his life, the complex paradoxes of a man of complicated responses who always laid claim to the simplest of answers and propositions in dealing with life and the Film Industry. Friends will know how these paradoxes played out in conversations, negotiations, dealings and an infinite number of kindnesses, small and large, thoughtful and [...]]]></description>
