The murderer was called Bruno hauptmann a drifter and carpenter he was executed in 1936.As for lindbergh being a Nazi party sympathiser after the death of his son lingbergh moved his family to Europe and while there took up an invite to see germany’s booming aircraft manufacturing industry.Back home i believe they saw him as a sympathiser it must have been a difficult time for him.But saying that i thought he served his country in a civilian roll in the pacific in some combat missions.

An astounding achievement. I typed in my surname and over a dozen bombers with crew losses came up on the database. Every entry gave me pause for thought, esp. as my late Grandfather had been a tail gunner on Halifaxes but was fortunate to survive the war. It could so easily have been different…

I couldn’t agree more seafuryfan,ive had one of those grounding moments where i have a list of KIA names from our local war memorial ,and ive only done half a dozen or so, but ive now got places,aircraft,ect.Ones sticking out in particular ,the site gives his name as POW,the memorial has him as killed a year later.A bit more investigation needed from me i think…

Dont forget his coat 😀

Thanks for that paul ,my eldest son is getting in to astronomy, his collection of books is growing and i promised him a good telescope when hes a bit older.

Church fenton early 70s,the Vulcan flew by and good old lightning on static and displayed. 😀

The scariest games i think are things like medal of honor ,brothers in arms,call of duty ect.The speed at which i get killed,i always think could i have done this in real life and just increases my respect for the men that did….

Paul have you ever taken picks of our neighbouring planets???
