He won Olympic gold at the 1924 Paris Games. To this day, no one else has ever achieved both. This is the extraordinary story of Sir Philip Neame VC — soldier, sportsman, prisoner of war, and member of one of Kent's most famous brewing families.Born near Faversham in 1888, Philip Neame grew up in the family behind Shepherd Neame, Britain's oldest brewer. Educated at Cheltenham College, he trained at the Royal Military Academy Woolwich and was commissioned into the Royal Engineers. When war broke out in 1914, he was serving at Gibraltar but was quickly recalled to join the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front. Within weeks of arriving in France, the young sapper found himself in the thick of fighting at Neuve Chapelle, where a desperate situation with faulty grenades and improvised fuses led to an astonishing act of bravery that earned him the Victoria Cross — one of 628 awarded during the entire war. He was just 26 years old.Neame served throughout the First World War, was awarded the DSO, mentioned in dispatches ten times, and in 1920 was among the 75 VC holders who formed the guard of honour at the burial of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey. But his story was only getting started. At the 1924 Paris Olympics — the games immortalised in Chariots of Fire — Neame was part of the British shooting team that won gold in the Running Deer Double Shot event, beating Norway by a single point in a dramatic finale.It was a triumph largely forgotten in the shadow of Abrahams and Liddell, yet Neame's unique double of Victoria Cross and Olympic gold has never been matched in the century since.Transferring to the Indian Army, Neame survived being mauled by a tiger, married the nurse who saved him, and returned to Woolwich as its last ever Commandant before the Second World War intervened. Sent to North Africa as a lieutenant general, he was captured during Rommel's first offensive in Libya alongside fellow general Richard O'Connor — making them among the most senior British officers taken prisoner in the entire war. Held at the Castello di Vincigliata near Florence, a medieval fortress turned special POW camp, Neame used his engineering skills to design the escape tunnel through which two New Zealand brigadiers made it all the way to Switzerland. He himself escaped in September 1943 during the chaos of the Italian Armistice, eventually reaching Allied lines and meeting Churchill in North Africa before arriving home on Christmas Day.Support the show

The following work is an eye-opening insight into some peak Cold War contingency planning: how to defend Gibraltar – gateway to the Mediterranean and critical British military hub since 1713. Whilst (like all such plans) it may seem utterly far-fetched, the threat – however small – was real. The latest in an increasingly hefty and impressive portfolio of work focusing on declassified archive material, veteran Wavell Room author and Thin Pinstriped Line blog titan "Sir Humphrey" sets out the very real measures taken to defend 'The Rock'. Regular readers will enjoy the delightful (and oftentimes farcical) similarities with UK defence matters across the decades… Editor. Simmering Tensions In the early hours of May 1982, following indications that a Spanish amphibious force, ostensibly on exercise, had begun sailing closer to Gibraltar, the Governor exercised powers to sortie armed Royal Navy warships, and deploy the Army onto the streets of the rock, to defend it from potential Spanish invasion. This sounds like the plot of a poor Cold War thriller but nearly happened for real. This article is about how in the 1980s the UK actively planned to defend Gibraltar from both Soviet and Spanish aggression in the most unlikely of circumstances. In 1982 the UK and Spain had strained relations over the issue of Gibraltar since the Spanish closed the land border in 1969. Throughout the 1970s there was genuine concern that Spain could attempt some kind of military operation, leading to elaborate plans being developed to defend 'the Rock' against attack for long enough for cooler heads to prevail. The invasion of the Falklands by Argentina was a particular concern, given the vital military role played by UK military facilities in Gibraltar supporting the Task Force. In April 1982 the Service Chiefs urgently reviewed plans and capabilities were needed to keep Gibraltar safe, both from Argentine attack and to deter the Spanish from taking advantage of a distracted UK both in the short and medium term. The plans to reinforce the Rock were known as Joint Tactical Plan (JTP) 52 existed to reinforce against the risk of Spanish aggression, but as the Chiefs noted "the plans concerns reinforcement of Gibraltar to meet a direct threat to the Rock, not a contingency plan for a war with Spain. Naturally should events escalate to such an unfortunate level, appropriate forces would be assigned as the situation dictated"! There was an immediate concern about the presence of a Spanish amphibious force, with 4000 marines embarked operating barely 35 miles from the colony from 26 April to 4 May. While the threat was seen as extremely unlikely, it could not be ruled out. To reduce this risk two RAF Jaguar ground attack jets and an RN Lynx helicopter were dispatched to provide a level of anti-ship capability against Spanish vessels that posed a risk to the Rock. The CINC in Gibraltar was sufficiently concerned about the risk from this exercise, however unlikely it may have been, to formally put in place "covert preparations to deal with any attempt, admittedly extremely unlikely, at an amphibious assault on Gibraltar". These measures included covertly preparing and arming Royal Navy warships to be ready to sail at short notice to monitor the force if it moved eastwards out of the exercise area towards Gibraltar. If it continued, then the Army units would be brought to very high readiness, and aircrew in their cockpits. The proposed ROE stated that the Royal Navy would not engage until "enemy opens fire or have landed in Gibraltar and opened fire". Spain did not, of course, invade, but it led to an urgent MOD reappraisal of the defences needed for Gibraltar to defend against "the situation in which a local Spanish commander might decide to attempt an unsupported and unauthorised adventure against the Rock". The conclusions were that there was insufficient anti-aircraft artillery, relying on WW2 40mm bofors guns to defend the airfield, insufficient counter bat...

In 1872, the merchant brigantine Mary Celeste left New York Harbor on a routine voyage to Italy. On board were Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife Sarah, their young daughter Sophia, and a crew of seven experienced sailors. Just weeks later, the ship was found drifting in the Atlantic Ocean — fully seaworthy, cargo intact, provisions untouched… but not a single soul remained on board.What happened during those missing days between her last log entry and her discovery by the Dei Gratia? Why would an experienced captain abandon a safe ship with food, water, and sails set for the journey ahead? Was it mutiny, piracy, a sudden storm, or something stranger that stole away ten lives without leaving a trace?In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we unravel the haunting voyage of the Mary Celeste, exploring the ship's background, her fateful discovery, the Gibraltar investigation, and the enduring mystery that still captures imaginations nearly 150 years later.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

El acuerdo político alcanzado entre la UE y el Reino Unido sobre Gibraltar y su estatus, pendiente desde el Brexit, incluye, entre otras, el derribo de la verja para crear una zona de prosperidad compartida y controles dobles de entrada y salida. Un "tratado histórico" y un "enorme éxito para el campo de Gibraltar, para Andalucía, para España y para Europa", afirma el ministro de Asuntos Exteriores, Unión Europea y Cooperación, José Manuel Albares, en el informativo 24 Horas de RNE, en el que España no hace ninguna concesión para su soberanía. "Cambiamos la relación entre Gibraltar y el campo de Gibraltar con una apuesta por la convivencia y por la prosperidad y la riqueza compartida", señala el ministro. Albares ha puesto fecha al fin de la verja: está previsto que todo esté "a punto antes del verano". "Las obras de acondicionamiento", comenta, "han empezado ya esta misma semana". El tratado tiene que ser todavía ratificado por el parlamento británico y por la Comisión y el Consejo europeos, y anima "a todos los partidos españoles" a votar a favor, especialmente al PP. Sobre este, señala que no entendería si votara otra cosa porque los representantes 'populares' implicados -la Junta de Andalucía y los alcaldes de las localidades cercanas-, dice, le han mostrado en todo momento su apoyo. "No me imagino que nadie votase en contra de un tratado que es histórico", asevera.¿Qué implicaciones tiene para España? El ministro Albares habla de "tres ejes": el de la libertad de personas y mercancías con la caída de la verja; evitar las desigualdades y la dispersión, con un impuesto indirecto similar al IVA que iniciará en el 15%; y obligar a Gibraltar a situarse en los estándares europeos en materias como las de medioambiente.Escuchar audio
El acuerdo sobre Gibraltar no convence al alcalde de la localidad gaditana de Algeciras, José Ignacio Landaluce. En el informativo 24 Horas de RNE. "Es un acuerdo que llevamos mucho tiempo buscando", afirma, pero que les genera dudas. "El Gobierno central no ha tratado nunca bien a nuestra comarca, así que pedirnos un acto de fe para creernos las bondades de este acuerdo es lógicamente pedirnos mucho", comenta. Según Landaluce, en las reuniones que han tenido con el ministro no les han dado detalles ni se "ha entrado a desarrollar cada uno de los puntos" por "falta de confianza" en los gibraltareños. "Sabían siempre más (el Gobierno) y estaban presentes en las negociaciones los gibraltareños en el otro lado de la mesa, pero no estábamos los campos gibraltareños", asevera, "nosotros no estamos preparados porque ni hemos estado ni se nos ha invitado y además desconocemos lo que se ha aprobado". Landaluce plantea además dudas por la caída de la verja. "Cuando se quite la verja, ¿quién va a ser la colonia de quién?", se pregunta.Escuchar audio

What does it take to swim across the world's most dangerous stretches of water with no wetsuit? For record-breaking endurance swimmer Anna Wardley, the answer isn't just physical grit—it's the power of her invisible team. In this week's episode of Connected Leadership Bytes, Andy Lopata revisits his episode with Anna Wardley, who went from being a novice swimmer in her 30s to conquering the English Channel, the Strait of Gibraltar, and much more. She shares the harrowing story of her first Channel attempt, which ended in failure and a hypothermic trip to the hospital, and the powerful leadership lessons she learned from it. This is a masterclass in building and leading a high-stakes team. Anna reveals that her success isn't made in the water; it's forged in the months of meticulous planning by a team of experts she trusts with her life. Discover the "rules of engagement" for making life-or-death decisions, the psychology of pushing past your limits, and why the leader's job is sometimes the "easy part." Key Takeaways from This Episode What is the harrowing story of Anna's first Channel swim failure, and what crucial lesson did she only learn after being rushed to the hospital? Why does Anna say her part—swimming for 26+ hours—is "magnificently straightforward" compared to the complex work of her support team? What is the one non-negotiable rule her team follows before making the life-or-death decision to pull her from the water? How does Anna use the negative comments from doubters as a powerful source of motivation in her darkest moments? Actionable Insights Build Your Specialist Team: Realise that your success as a leader depends on the experts you surround yourself with. Like Anna, whose team includes meteorologists and marine logistics specialists, identify the critical skills your mission requires and rally the best people you can find. Your job is to inspire the mission, not to be an expert in everything. Establish "Rules of Engagement" Before a Crisis: Define clear lines of command and decision-making authority with your team before you're in a high-pressure situation. Knowing exactly who makes the final call and under what circumstances builds absolute trust and eliminates confusion when seconds count. Embrace the "No Plan B" Mindset: For high-stakes challenges, a "no room for doubt" attitude can be your greatest asset. Anna believes that entering a challenge with the possibility of failure in mind makes it almost certain. As a leader, fully committing to the goal without an escape route can be the key to pushing through a difficult period.

In this episode host Iain Ballantyne talks to guest Steve Kershaw, a former Royal Navy submarine officer, about his amazing career under the sea and his work today helping to bring about the UK'S ‘Hybrid Navy' transformation.Iain kicks off by asking Steve to explain what led him to choose a naval career in the mid-1980s and why it was the engineering side of the Senior Service that appealed most.After talking about his time undergoing Initial Sea Training and being ‘streamed' to the Submarine Service as an engineer, Steve relates how for a short period he returned to the Surface Fleet. He spent time in HMS London, including a foray to Berlin as the infamous Wall dividing East and West came down in late 1989.Steve served in several Royal Navy nuclear-powered hunter killer submarines (SSNs) of the Trafalgar Class, including during the 1991 Gulf War. That boat spent 13 weeks dived in the Mediterranean watching Libya to ensure it did not come into the conflict on the side of Saddam Hussein.Steve also went to sea in the Upholder Class diesel-electric submarine HMS Unicorn for a marathon voyage from the UK to the Indian Ocean and Gulf and back. He reveals to Iain how he found the ‘dirty boat' world aboard Unicorn to be somewhat different to the nukes.While away the UK Government decided to take the four (fairly new) Upholders out of commission, which was a blow. Steve reveals the impact that had on Unicorn's crew. A deployment involving Steve, which hit the headlines for the wrong reasons was that of HMS Tireless as part of Naval Task Group 2000, and which saw a circumnavigation of the world cancelled. The SSN was ‘trapped' in Gibraltar for a year due to serious technical problems and Steve returned home rather than going around the world.Among other things Iain and Steve discuss is his time with Naval Sea Trials Party 30 (NSTP 30) and its work to ensure RN submarine sensors remained on the cutting edge during a continuing contest under the sea.Steve and Iain also discuss how the ‘Hybrid Navy' aims to provide a solution to giving the British fleet of today and tomorrow more mass and presence at sea as part of the new Atlantic Bastion concept.*For more on navies and their activities worldwide, get the magazine!

Le 25 janvier 2026, l'équipage de Sodebo Ultim 3 est entré dans l'histoire en s'emparant du Trophée Jules Verne en 40 jours, 10 heures et 45 minutes. Responsable de la navigation à bord, Benjamin Schwartz a été l'un des artisans de ce nouveau temps de référence. L'occasion de réécouter l'épisode d'Into the Wind consacré à ce marin au parcours atypique.-- C'est l'histoire d'un marin très recherché, qui enchaîne embarquements et coups d'éclat, mais n'a pas vraiment suivi les voies d'accès traditionnelles à la voile de compétition. Né à Lyon dans une famille où personne ne pratique le bateau, c'est grâce à... son prof de judo qu'il découvre la voile en Méditerranée. C'est là qu'il va progressivement faire son trou et se spécialiser dans l'électronique et la navigation sur des bateaux de propriétaires, de plus en plus gros, tout en suivant des études en géologie à Lyon.En 2014, il embarque sur l'ex VOR 70 SFS avec Lionel Péan, qui sillonne en course toute la Grande Bleue. Deux ans et demi plus tard, début 2017, il tente sa chance et candidate chez Dongfeng : il participe à la campagne victorieuse de Charles Caudrelier et des siens dans la Volvo Ocean Race, en charge, dans l'équipe technique, de l'électronique.Cette fois c'est le grand bain, il a été repéré et est appelé par Spindrift, tandis que l'équipe Dongfeng l'encourage à assumer ses envies de Figaro, lui qui n'a jamais couru en solitaire. Il se jette à l'eau en 2019 et le bizuth explose sur la Solitaire avec une 6e place et même, du jamais vu, un titre de champion de France élite de course au large.Désormais installé à Lorient, son téléphone sonne de plus en plus souvent : tout en enchaînant les stand-by et les tentatives de Trophée Jules Verne avec Spindrift, il gagne le championnat d'Europe mixte de course au large avec Marie Riou, est recruté pour The Ocean Race Europe sur Corum, puis navigue à bord d'Holcim-PRB sur The Ocean Race, où il finit skipper après l'affaire Escoffier.Fin 2023, il doit participer à la Transat Jacques Vabre avec Nicolas Troussel, mais le sponsor finit par renoncer après un démâtage sur le Défi Azimut. En 2024, il découvre le Class40 avec Fabien Delahaye (1er et 2e sur la Normandy Channel Race et Québec Saint-Malo) et le duo Alberto Riva-Jean Marre (2e sur la Niji 40). Il intègre le team Gitana pour cet hiver, avant que le maxi-trimaran Edmond de Rothschild ne démâte à Gibraltar. Le téléphone sonne quelques jours plus tard et l'équipage de Sodebo le récupère pour le Trophée Jules Verne.Pour la saison prochaine, il n'a rien de prévu, pour le moment. Ça ne saurait durer...Rediffusé le 20 février 2026Diffusé le 15 novembre 2024Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Una guerra en estado puro. A partir de agosto de 1936 ya no se habla de golpe, España entera está en guerra. Miles de personas mueren fusiladas, entre ellos Blas Infante y Federico García Lorca. El desbloqueo del Estrecho de Gibraltar permite la entrada indiscriminada de regulares en la península. Las muertes se suceden y el frente se estabiliza entre las provincias de Córdoba y Jaén.
En 1704, tras la ocupación británica del Peñón, este pastor propuso un plan audaz: guiar a un grupo de soldados españoles por un sendero secreto que solo él conocía. La ruta conducía a lo alto del Peñón, permitiendo un ataque sorpresa desde la cima. Aunque lograron posicionarse estratégicamente, la falta de apoyo del ejército principal frustró la operación. Susarte no solo ofreció un camino, ofreció una esperanza. Su historia, entre lo heroico y lo legendario, sigue viva como símbolo de resistencia y memoria en Andalucía.
