    l’ve got lots of photos on slides but l can’t afford to get them converted.

    I think it possible to buy an adaptor to fit a scanner for scanning in slide images so that you can process them yourself or take them for printing.
    I used to see a few for sale on Ebay so maybe they are still available.

    best regards[/QUOTE]

    l’ve tried three scanners in stores & none of them work, so l’ll get them done at Jessops.

    My first week at El Adem was an lnduction Course including what NOT to do, this included not going off the desert roads by more than 100 yds as you were likely to step on a mine. There were minefield maps but they were not very accurate, so l never went off the desert roads.

    After severe sandstorms which exposed the minefields, Libyans would collect mines, put them on board their rowing boats and go out into Tobruk harbour. They would throw the mines into the water & if they exploded the dead fish would float to the surface.

    One day two Arab children had picked up a German S-mine, they took it to Tobruk beach & tried to throw it into the water. Tragically the mine detonated before it reached the water & decapitated them both.

    She’ll be at Northumbria Quay, North Shields, welcoming the people of the North-East on board for a look round, on Saturday & Sunday from 10am-3pm. Among the ‘kit’ to be seen on board will be a Sea King Asac helicopter, from the 849 Naval Air Squadron, and a Merlin NH Mk1 helicopter, of 814 squadron.
