My father worked on wellingtons during the war. I'll have to look that up. My grandfather was one of the first at Molesworth with the 8th Army Air Corp. In 41... |

Or maybe 42... my memory is shot

Oh cool stu, my area is covered in old airfields used by the us. We still have Mildenhall and Lakenheath about 40 miles away.
I think Molesworth maybe shut now, but it was one of the cruise missile bases along with greenham common a few years ago. |

A city called Norwich, about 60 miles from me has a massive library, in it is a huge collection of every thing and wings that were based in East anglia, every reference you can dream of.

Pisces: Hi Jade, nice of you to stop by We're all having tea, would you like some? Mikey: Yeah, it's a beer Welcome back Where the @$%# have you been? Stu: HI Jade.. Hello, my sweeties. It's nice to go into a place where everybody knows your name, like the Cheers bar. And I would love some hot tea. Thanks Jade, that was what I was hoping for, a place to hang out and not be limited to the topic. Hot tea sounds good to me too |
