I watched Flowers of War

An American finds refuge during the 1937 Japanese invasion of Nanking in a church with a group of women.
Posing as a priest, he attempts to lead the women to safety.

Good film !

I reckon the people who run the cafe might object to the old hangar being rebuilt.
Saying that, we haven’t been in there since it changed hands a couple of years ago.

Maybe IWM Duxford is a victim of it’s own success ? There just isn’t enough room to build everything they would like.

[quote=”TEXANTOMCAT” ] On a DX tangent, according to the IWM Meisterplan I understand that the Land Warfare Hall is to be flattened and a new conservation building put up in its place…>>[/quote]

If indeed that comes to fruition, it seems an awful waste. Where on earth would the money come from ?
I would have liked to have seen the hangar rebuilt, which was blown up.

Regarding deleting photos. Unless you have reformatted the memory card, they should be recoverable.
There are free utilities available to un-delete files. I have done this with an SD card, and it does work.
The name of the programme escapes me for now. Google should help.

A lot of these films are available on YouTube.
There is another film I seem to recall, with the same or similar cast as “The Way Ahead” (?)

A very intereting read. You have to wonder though, how as he go away with it for so long ?

I spent a week there with the ATC in 1966. Had a nice flight around the coast in a Chipmunk.
There wasn’t a cloud in the sky all week, lovely location. Arrivived there by train at Wrafton station.
