Restoring Isle of Wight History & Heritage

On Air with BBC Solent

Back on the Airwaves – Our BBC Solent Podcast Appearance!

We’re delighted to share that Steve & Jo were last year, invited to take part in a second podcast, this time with BBC Solent – and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

This episode dives deep into one of our favourite topics: the Cold War, the fascinating history of the Needles rocket testing site, and the story of the Black Arrow rocket – the only British rocket to successfully launch a satellite into orbit.

It was a real pleasure to help shine a light on this often-overlooked piece of British space and defence history, and we’re grateful to BBC Solent for giving us the chance to share it with a wider audience.

🎧 You can listen to the episode now on BBC Sounds:

We hope you enjoy the listen — and as always, thank you for supporting our mission to bring hidden history back to life!

Warm regards,
Steve & Jo
