We were granted full access to the headquarters and training facilities of the London Regiment, the largest TA infantry regiment still operating today within the UK. We looked into the civilian lives of a handful of the soldiers, and followed them on their annual two-week exercise in Germany. We also investigated the history of the various companies within the Regiment, and the military honors each have earned.

THE LONDON WARRIOR takes an independent and objective tone. In light of recent conflicts and the uncertain future that many of us feel we face, we thought it important to show the human side to the men and women who freely surrender part of their private lives to ensure the security of our own. We wanted to achieve this without emphasizing the negative aspects of modern Army life that are often prevalent in many documentaries concerning the military.

Build Your Own Motor Torpedo Boat

Bought for the sum of just £1 it was the dream to bring a piece of British Naval Maritime history back to life as well as stand as an ode to the men and women of Coastal Forces.

From initial planning to restoration, reconstruction, replacement armaments and sea trials, this one hour long documentary charters Paul Child's two year project as he sacrificed everything to reconstruct the last 1950's motor torpedo boat of its class, P1041 HMS Gay Archer.

As the boat slowly takes form Coastal Forces veterans tell of their adventures on board such vessels. This documentary is both educational and entertaining as we follow Paul's journey to turn his dream into reality.
