    1. It's a fabulous Museum, built on the airfield that flew the first Spitfire squadron.

  2. Dear John,
    I particularly noted the 7.2" howitzer like the one which Spike Milligan crewed in the Western Desert. The tanks are neat (I got a good picture of you in front of Montgomery's command tank), but I'd never seen that howitzer before in the flesh, so to speak.
    A neat trip!

  3. Hi John,
    I've just spent the last 5 weeks reading through your blog and it's been an utter pleasure. But then I am from Cornwall and we are all a bit 'touched'. I love the eclective mixture of topics.
    Regards,
    Steve

    1. My family originally come from S Dartmoor, Ilsington. But my branch went to London then back to Plymouth, ending up in Newquay. I moved back to London and now live in the Kent commuter belt.
