  1. Merchant Navy or Royal Navy? Any ship name?
  2. Jack, have you tried to source, or get a look at any War Diaries? If you are lucky, his name may get mentioned in them, they are fairly detailed, although the lowest ranks may not get a mention. It may be different in the case of aircrew. I believe Jules aka Dawnpatrol is a specialist on WW1 aircrews. Maybe worth asking him if he is still on here.
  3. All good stuff, thanks for the info guys.
  4. Ive just been watching the classic film Battle of Britain made in 1969. It made me wonder how many vehicles, planes etc were actually destroyed during the making of it? There are obviously some real ME109's, Hurricanes and Spits in it. How many of them were destroyed, how many survive today?
  5. Thanks, have tried to go through the contact email but it appears not to work.
  6. Anyone got contact details for him please?
  7. The one that was at Trucks and Troops? Anyone got a contact?
  8. Another shout on this one, camping available the night before, looks to be a good day.
  9. Good to see a pic of John Marchant receiving the Bart award at this years W&P, a well deserving winner, and founder of the MV movement. What he has locked away in his sheds beggars belief. He will be bringing some of it out at this years Chill Out weekend. Camping, free beer and run your MV round in one of his fields. Plus get the chance to speak to the man himself, its worth it just for some of his stories.
