Here’s what I’ve been up to recently, between looking after a slightly poorly hubby.

I really need to concentrate on my commission work. The 16 Great Eastern Railway coaches are progressing slowly, but I keep getting sidetracked by plastic aeroplane kits. I’ll perhaps go into more depth about that personal hobby project one day.

My 1940 Short Stirling project is coming together nicely. Upgrading a kit first made in the 1960s has been fun. I’m going to have to virtually scratch build nose and tail turrets, as I have done for the cockpit. Very pleased with how this build is going.

My guess it will be Hawks not Typhoons.

Getting hold of a family members military record is simple and a great way to start your family history investigation. Here's what I learned:

Churchill: Let our operation be martial, to reflect the spirit of our men and the noble cause we serve.
The : This shall be Operation Gomorrah, as we shall lay their city to waste with fire and brimstone.
The : This shall be Operation Battleaxe, for we shall smite the enemy with our mighty blade.
The : Hats. Hats is good.

As for U-431, the boat sinking HNLMS Isaac Sweers on 13 November 1942, she would be lost almost a year later, on 21 October 1943, off Cartagena, to depth charges from an Vickers Wellington. By this time, her commander at the time of the attack on Sweers had transferred out. He would survive the war as commander of the German submarine base in Penang, Malaysia, and died in 1990 in Hannover, aged 82. /endthread @histodons

While the website linked above indicates she was sunk by a Liberator of No. 120 Squadron, recent research shows it was a Catalina of VP-84. Lt.Cdr. Hesse was 33 years old when he died, and HMS Ghurka was the only success in his career.

As well as wildlife photog, I also enjoy aviation photog, especially the challenging shots, such as this classic manoeuvre!

Taken at several years ago.
