For those of you interested in turret parts from the parts stash we have acquired, don’t give up on me yet. It’s taking forever to sort and ID this stuff. Here’s a link to some of the most recent photos.

On an unrelated topic, I’m trying to research two bomb blasts that hit near my mother’s home at #69 Pascoe Road, Lewisham SE13. The first was on or about June 23rd 1944 and hit across and up the street from #69 but still on Pascoe. The second hit near a relative’s house, where they had gone after the first blast damaged the house at #69 Pascoe. The second blast was near the relative’s house on Wisteria Lane, also just up the road from Pascoe, still in Lewisham. The second blast would have taken place probably on the night of June 25/26th 1944. My mother was evacuated to the Midlands after that second one. She has always wondered, and so have I, if either one of these blasts, maybe both, were V-1s. Is there a data base for V-1 impacts by street? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
