Description
In a workshop in northeast England, a team mainly comprised of military veterans apply the finishing touches to a Viking longship named "Stormbird". The project is a labour of love for dozens of ex-service men and women struggling with mental health problems. Threatened with closure when the pandemic hit, the project survived under the stewardship of Bob Marshall, who served in the Falklands and Northern Ireland during a 26-year army career. "People always think that they can't and we will prove to individuals that they can," he says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
