hello i got a problem . Over the last few years i have been collecting information on the russian ncluer ice breaker arktika with the idea of make a working model of her. In my collection of information i had a video of her and quess what. It got acendently recored over  >:( :( :'(. I have tryed to get another copy and had no joy so was wonder if any one here might have a copy or know were i can get one. Of coures i will cover any expencess.

The documentry ( ICE BREAKER ) was in a 6 part documentry call red arctic . It was on BBC2 on july 1991. It was about the ice breaker Arktika voyage on the north east passage from Murmansk to Pevek via Dikson and Tiksi.

Wow! That's a long shot but you never know!

What about the specialist marine book shops?
Does anything ever come up on ebay?

( Re: It got accidentally recorded over  .... yep, been there, done that, got the t-shirt!)

hi martin yep very very long shot. It was never sold as a video / dvd. It only ever been on the BBC once that was back in 1991. Tyred the BBC , there were no help at all. So my only hope is some recored back then like i did and still has a copy.

Was the BBC a complete dead end?  Is it worth trying again, you may get a better response. or try National Geographic etc?

The hard part would be building the scaled down nuclear reactor.
