Richard Hone
Richard Hone - WW 2 Armoured Vehicles and Weapon Historian After a full 22 year career in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, much of it spent in Germany, Richard turned his intimate knowledge of tanks and armoured vehicles into a passionate and long-standing hobby. Model making, for which he is renowned, combined with a detailed knowledge of Wehrmacht orders of battle and tactics, makes him an important part of the BHTV team in all our Second World War films.
Richard’s other great enthusiasm are the soldiers of the Durham Light Infantry and their battles. Included in his film credits is ‘Finding Uncle Bill’; a worked example of how to not only follow an ancestors Great War documentary trail but to also visit the battlefields where he fought. William Pye who died in the advance south of the Ypres Salient less than a month before the end of the war, was Richard’s Uncle Bill. Richard was the fifth generation of his familly to serve his
