In Blighty
Well, here I am in Pulborough, West Sussex, due South of London looking out on a slightly misty but beautiful morning. A little later on we plan to hop into the Harvard to fly over Thorney Island to see the old airfield from where my Uncle Keith flew his last mission in May 1943 in a Hampden. He was shot down attacking German shipping off the Dutch coast.
Before I go, I'd like to express my sincere thanks for all who made my brief trip to Canada so enjoyable, from the excellent organisational skills to the warm hospitality, you people are absolutely wonderful. Whilst I didn't get to drive a CMP (this only means I'll have to come back again) I did experience something not many modern Canadians can say they've done: a ride in a Carrier in the snow, which was bloody fantastic! Thanks to Stuart Loy for that. Well, Jif, Empress, Skag, various Brians Bruce and others, THANKS  In the UK my cellphone should work 0438 132748, or else PM me - I'd still like to try to do a trip to Oxford if I can, or perhaps I can meet someone in Duxford.
