I believe it has – they’ll only take cash at the moment – but apparently many of the shops are still open and trading, pending a buy-out by another company.

Hi Guys – Not only have I found it but a brief perusal of my “archives” reveals the following; Bomber Command – the Air Ministry account of Bomber Commands offensive against the axis Sept 1939 – July 1941 – Target Germany – The USAAF official story of the VIII Bomber Commands first year over Europe – HMSO 1944 – Air Sea Rescue – dated 1942 – By Air to Battle – the official account of the British Airborne Divisions – it is dated Oct 21st 1945 by my mother – For this I will die – a fighter pilot writes to his M.P. – East of Malta – West of Suez – The Admiralty account of the Naval War in the Eastern Mediterranean Sept 1939 – March 1941 – Coastal Command – published 1943 – Destruction of an Army – about the forerunner of the 8th Army in it’s campaign against the Italians – Prisoner of War – The first authentic account of the lives of British prisoners of war in enemy hands – published 1 january 1942 – RAF Parade – A war record of achievement – seems to have been published 1941 from the contents – the Battle of Britain August – October 1940 (Blue cover) and The Battle of Britain – an Air Ministry account of the great days from 8th August – 31st October 1940 – for which I am eternally grateful to Mum getting these whilst Dad was on active service. I also hold the little books issued to service personnel when they landed in europe (France, Belgium & Luxembourg, Holland and Germany) marked with Dad’s route from Normandy to Denmark, then back to Germany. one attached – four to follow – cheers – Allan

Yes, any speculation about either of them not being was started irresponsibly (causing upset to some) by the person who stirred up the thread to start with.

With reference to kev35s comment about Janie, and as someone who was, until now, not aware that she wasn’t present at Sundays Legends, I’d just like to ask a simple question to put my mind at rest. A yes or no answer will suffice.

Is Janie and her owner/pilot OK.

No details required, I only ask because I’m concerned.

Thanks

Willow

All these references to Janie’s non appearance at Legend’s on the Sunday are getting tiresome. What it boils down to is the fact that some of us know why, some of us don’t, others of us think we do but actually don’t. Those that do know aren’t saying. But does it matter? If the owner wanted us to know you can be sure that the information would be out by now. Let it drop. By the way I don’t know and couldn’t really care less, I was more than satisfied with what was at Legends on the Sunday.

Now, back to ‘One of our aircraft is missing’. A cracking film and I’m delighted it’s being shown again. It is a good portrayal of the air war and in particular the efforts of Resistance movements to return downed airmen.

Regards,
