ON TOUR: Napoleon and St Helena

In May 2017 BTN Editor-in-Chief was one of two British journalists to fly into St Helena for the opening of its new airport. He described the trip as fantastic.

On 29 October 18:00 (GMT) The British Napoleonic Bicentenary Trust, in collaboration with Texas A&M and the Oxford X-Reality Hub, is offering a virtual tour of St Helena.  Brent Fortenberry is the guide of a series of intricate virtual 3D images of the sites on the island.

2021 will see the 200th anniversary of the death of Napoleon on the island which will be commemorated by the French and of course the islanders, no longer cut off from humanity
