Since
the last issue the television programme, filmed by a camera crew on board
Endeavour for the Yesterday TV channel series Find my Past, has been
broadcast. Three people were featured in the programme including LuLu
Alexandra from Leigh. LuLu's great-uncle, Leslie Osborne lost his life
aboard Renown on the return from Dunkirk. LuLu's father, Trevor Osborne a
life member of the Endeavour Trust, owns one of today's modern cockle
boats - Renown IV.
In some ways this episode was a bit disappointing, particularly because there were major factual errors in the history of the event recalled, and how it involved the Leigh boats. Perhaps next time we should ask for some editorial input to ensure historical accuracy!
