The Bird Men of Steyning Bowl
Hang-gliding, a new sport in the sky, is growing all over the country, but there are risks. Two British pilots have died trying to beat the world's soaring record.
The first Hang-Gliding Championships were held this summer at Steyning Bowl in Sussex, and Bob Fisher jumped off with some of the competitors to experience at first hand the pleasures and problems of this young sport of flying enthusiasts.

When Henry Lincoln first began researching the story of a French village priest who was led by secret parchments to the source of great wealth, he explored tempting possibilities. Had the priest found the lost treasure of Jerusalem concealed by the Visigoths, or that hidden by the Templars?
In this Chronicle programme Henry Lincoln is now able to offer a solution to the mystery of what exactly the priest had found at Rennes-le-Chateau. His solution, until recently, had remained hidden in a painting by Nicolas Poussin, Les Bergers d'Arcadie.
