It would be nice if a lower-powered illumination could be provided at a reduced cost so that these landmarks could remain lit.

I’m particularly fond of Southwold lighthouse, you can see some of the best morris dancing outside the nearby Sole Bay Inn.

Morris Dancing illuminated by lighthouse?

What does the small American think of that?

I have a recollection of seeing a 109 and a ME 163 on display at a Battle of Britain at home day in the very early seventies. My mind tells me it was Coltishall but it might have been Wattisham.
I’m also sure the 109 had a kind of dummy propellor on it–a sort of mocked up steel cross–anyone got any memory of these two together?

There might have been other WW2 types on ststic there too–I remember being fascinated by the 163 and the tiny propellor on the nose–(I now know that this didn’t provide the forward momentum)–I was only five or six at the time.
Cheers

BN
thanks for the heads up on this.
‘Carve Her Name With Pride’ really is a good film.
The actor Jack Warner played her father brilliantly I always thought.
I’ll try and get down there one of these days.

A real tribute.

Hi all,
of all Steve’s many qualities (and there were many, Chipmunk fondling included) I feel that this was the one I respected him for the most.
It was his ongoing research and comemoration of 2Lt. K Wastell who was killed in a flying accident at St Ives, Cambridgeshire on March 23rd 1918.
Steve was keen that this incident from a war long ago was not to be forgotten.

I’ve included his pictures from the day he placed a wreath there so that we can all remember.
Steve, many thanks.

Cheers
Andy
PS. where-ever you are, I’m still smilling about you fondling that Chipmunk.

All of you,
I sit here numb this afternoon.
I have nothing to say only to repeat what Snapper has already said.

I’m watching the news and it seems minor–hopefully.

Jim Dale–“It’s just behind that cart pulled by cows”
Bernard Breslau-“Bullocks Sir”
Jim Dale–“No it is, honestly”.

‘Carry on up the Khyber’ I think.

Have you also noticed that the Kenneth Williams character in that was ‘The Khazi’ and the president of Afghanistan is called Khazi.
Whenever he appears on the news my wife (big Carry On fan) shouts “It’s the Khazi”
Such is life in the Jones household.
