Also in late May, he was interviewed by the Czech national broadcaster CT24 for a piece about Operation Tiger and the preparations for D-Day. The story also featured on the broadcaster's website.
More recently, he has spoken to BBC Future magazine about the marine conservation legacy of D-Day shipwrecks, later covering the same topic in a live interview with The World, a public radio programme broadcast right across the United States.
He was also interviewed by Devon Life, BBC Radio Devon and the Podded History of Devon podcast about the role the county played in the D-Day landings.
