When the code word comes back from Gibson’s aircraft and is heard in Britain, it is in Morse anyway, not verbally stated, and the wireless operator simply has to exclaim that the dam is breached without telling the others in the room “It’s Nigger”.

Doubtless someone would complain that they were being racist in morse 😀

Yes, thought so;

Was that not a Welkin? A much uglier younger brother with an unattractive name to match?

Correct 🙂 (Though I disagree on the unattractiveness of the name)

Doesn’t seem to be any info out there. I wonder if it came down in the sea?

Somebody took a number of airliners from Cosford …

Bill was the reprobate who on being told to burn the prototype Mosquito, hid it instead.

Full marks to him for doing that, but didnt a Hornet get burned at the time?

Great photography.

Please could I know where I can find the photographic documentation relating to aerial
reconnaissance made in North Africa (Tobruk-El Alamein) in the period 1941/42 ?
Thanks
