Greetings bob&anne powell.

I smiled when I set eyes on this cracking good photo, seeing the Union Jack flying aloft, and the "Keeper of the castle" enjoying an afternoon picnic in their front garden. All this speaks volumes about our nation, and our heritage ;.))

You know the old saying "An English man's home is his castle"

Excellent photo ;>)

Interesting. A DB unit there and active? Has the Chunnel made the mix and match as easily done in the UK as on the Continent?

It's me, tempus fugit. Drink sometime? B.

Decoy towns were quite an interesting touch, though effectiveness seemed about nil. I suspect they were an idea before the RAF accepted Knickebein as being a fact and well before they started trying to "bend the beams." I enjoyed R. V. Jones' The Wizard War long ago with the account of that effort. Now I gather the "bending" was not as successful technically as the doubts and fears of German crews knowing their navigation beams were highlighting the night's target and route for interceptors.

Dave, Yes, G S is still very much in the land of the living. B.

Bob I may have mixed the Longt & Latitude, just for the record I am passing through Tours later in the month with the caravan; I shall look out for the site you mentioned.
