Just remembered another plane that was in there, but not visible in these photos – Shorts Skyvan. Reminded because I saw one on the way to work!

That’s the pic! See what I mean about the props?

Thank you all, by the way, for not picking up on my typo of the date… oops! I blame trying to type in a tablet.

That will be harder to find if they were magazine pictures then, though I am impressed you spotted that after all this time. The “black and white radial” I am sure is Avro 504, and I recall F100 “Triple Zilch” as well, didnt know at the time it had been based down the road at Wethersfield. With the eye of faith I can see Black 6 and a Comper Swift too, didnt see a real swift until about two years ago at OW.

AFAIK didnt know any printers or publishers, I think they came from a local paperman who woud pass on all sorts of odd things. Could never follow a story in a comic because we never got the same one twice.

Apologies if this is awkward to read, this tablet is a b to type on!

Sorry, wrong sort of dating. My bad.

Smartypants. Got a grin from me, though!

The other project is actually our house – not there in 1944 (despite the vendors reckoning built in 1939), Google Earth reckons it is there by December 1945 – but see all the caveats here about dates!

Dave, I’m a bit lost by your fake hedge – there are several other parts of that image that look far more fake to me, but most of it looks much better quality than the retouching I’ve seen in period pics.
