Some kind soul has posted an envelope full of pristine WW2 images to RAF Halton. Have a look at some of them here

I wonder who that was? Somebodies grandad no doubt had these locked away in the loft until they were found after his death is my guess. Oh well i'll just keeplooking at the auctions i visit.

Incredible what gold mines are still out there. Hopefully the treasures will not end up on the rubbish dump!

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
