Anyone know why there isn’t a ban on collecting old wrist watches? They suffer the same problems and are worn next to the skin http://www.trusted-forwarder.org/elgin/help/luminous_dials.html even some AFV’s used in the gulf war used by Iraq had luminous dials. Interesting to read about the ‘Radium Girls’ and how they had to fight for justice. Interesting to also read about a company getting fined some years back in the UK for having old BT Luminous Trimphone dials in a skip and they were Tritium not radium which i believe is safer.
I always have had a great time when visiting Newark, I would highly recommend it to anyone, and anyone can have a bad experience when visiting any place be it a shop or museum. Its Worth another chance. Plenty to see an enjoy.
That return trip made me feel 20 years younger (My then teenage sons going out for the evening and me and the mrs unable to get to sleep until they got home safe) Thanks for the memories guys, I will cherish the memory forever.
I remember as a youngster watching 3 Lancasters comming in to land at Yeadon (Now Leeds and Bradford airport) Think that would be mid 50’s to early 60’s not too sure as i was born in 1949 and remember being frightened by the noise they made Landing. Unless it was just 1 doing ccts and bumps lol
Great Book I have vol 1 (saving up for vol 2). My suggestion would be for a loose leaf book so pages could be updated at reasonable cost, as and when any new information comes available. But then perhaps thats for the next eddition.
Just a heads up reminder for Thursday 8pm Ch5 ‘Heroes of the skies’ a dramatised documemtary about the crew of Lancaster ME669. Should be worth watching
