Hello Fred,

From research on another forum it has been suggested that the code was ZD-J’. Have you been able to glean any additional information? Here is a photo of Massey-Sharpe, do you know if he is on the left or the right?

Good evening all,can anyone help with a code letters for the spitfire P9339,
flown by P/O F.G.Massey-Sharp in wich he was shot down on 1 june 1940 near Campagnes les guines (exactly HERMELINGHEN) north of france ?.

Have you got any pictures from the aircraft.

Thanks

fred

Hello Graham,

Many thanks for your advice which I have taken by joining the English Electric Lightning Appreciation Group on Facebook.

Hello Baz,

Breakdown cover is, as has been previously said, simply an insurance policy and the cheapest way to buy this cover is to do what I do and pay £39 to: http://www.autoaidbreakdown.co.uk/ The reason that it is so cheap is that you have to pay for the recovery service yourself and then you recover the costs from the Autoaid policy.

Hello Ted,

I was thinking of buy a sat nav a few months ago but instead bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace smartphone from Tescos for £99. I have loaded Google Maps which can be saved offline so that I do not run up data charges. It doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles provided by a serious (and more expensive) sat nav but as a tool to use alongside some decent paper maps, I am very pleased with it. As a bonus I can use it to playback music and podcasts and sometimes to make a phone call.

I visited Stow Maries in September and it is well worth a visit. Here are my snaps of this atmospheric place.

It really was a superb day, very well done to the Lightning Preservation Group. Here are some of my snaps.

I was in a meeting once where the General Manager asked a chap about his deadline for the completion of a project: ‘What is your timeline horizon?’ Said chap had no idea what the GM was on about until a colleague helpfully translated the question into just one word: ‘When?’

The BBC have mentioned this today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18038650
