I did a load of Men At War research there - and have recently been going in to read about the surprisingly active Mackintosh scene in the war years. I wrote this about the archive being at the heart of so much non-fiction at the moment, in the Obs today observer.co.uk/style/featur...

Sidcup man convicted aover explosive attack on Ulez camera Kevin Rees's homemade bomb caused damage to vehicles and property including a child's bedroom.
