So now would be a good time to lift that P-38 off the Welsh coast before the weather gets worse, and before the Cosford tunnels get abandoned or dismantled? And given that it’s the only P-38 in the UK….

Recently signed up on this forum and never expected that this would be my first post! Saw this thread earlier and thought I would take a look at the IWM site. Have to say that I’ve just spent the past hour looking at it and have abandoned it in frustration. My great uncle, John Clifford Browne, who went over the top on the first day of the Somme, and survived that only to die some weeks later, is there thanks to his medal card, upon which the whole site is populated. I have a whole lot that I could add about him (dates, family, home, etc), but the site is not set up to permit anyone to just add stuff easily – it’s set up to ‘buy’ information from a lesser known genealogical group. So to add his date of birth or death I’ve first got to go and pay to get access to his birth and death records – I can’t just add it! This really is a poor show by IWM where a commercial enterprise has hijacked what should be an amazing way of permanently recording the existence and experiences of these soldiers, for all to add to and grow. I’m very disappointed.
