Tim Wander Collection

He has just published his 14th book along with four stage plays and three radio plays and regularly acts as a technical and historic consultant. He has extensive TV and radio experience, everything from Antiques Roadshows and Great Railway Journeys to Songs of Praise and provides radio and television interviews and articles on the early history of radio and broadcasting.

Over the last five years he has also published two books (with a third coming) and presented numerous lectures on the Second World War, centred around the Isle of Wight. These often focus on personal accounts and oral histories of people and soldiers who were actually there. His recent book on the PLUTO pipeline has effectively rewritten a piece of WW2 history.

He has been working with museums around the world for over 20 years and in 2016 he took over as Consultant and Curator for Science and Industry for Chelmsford City’s museum service.

Tim is a well-known and in demand lecturer, and provides interviews and articles on the early history of radio and broadcasting across all media streams. and in 2017 he presented a series of programs for the Discovery Channel presenting new evidence on the RMS Titanic disaster, based on the first-hand accounts of the radio operator.

Tim lectures all over the UK (and on cruise ships) on the history and career of Marconi, early wireless and broadcasting and the amazing military history of the Isle of Wight. His lectures and tours are always driven by his enthusiasm and love of history, aided by an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of his subject.
