"Evening all!"

Just thought I'd drop in, having spotted you discussing war memories. I was too late for the war, but my Mum and Dad both did their bit. My Mum was 15 at the start, but by 1945, she had done clerical work in offices in London and also did her bit, building Lancaster Bomber parts in Croyden.

My Dad, however, was ten years older (they met in 1949). He was an Aircraft Engine Mechanic in the Royal Air Force. He volunteered in 1940 and spent the Battle of Britain servicing Bristol Beaufighter Night Fighters at Middle Wallop in Hampshire. In 1941, he was posted to Egypt, where he remained until the war's end.

My Mum always talked about the places she worked but never mentioned anything about the air raids. I can only guess that she was never directly affected by them. I also don't think my Dad had too bad a time in Egypt, having spent his entire career behind the lines. I am aware, however, that he was involved in recovering damaged aircraft from the desert. He passed away in 1983, aged just 68. My mum, on the other hand, kept going until 2019, aged 95.

I served in the RAF as a Gas Turbine Technician, from 1979 to 1988. I didn't intentionally follow in my father's footsteps but, who knows, maybe subconsciously...?

I know this snippet was uninvited, but I hope you find it interesting nonetheless.

It depends on the subject, but generally, paintings. Although, there are wonderful and equally awful representatives of both.

Abstract art or faithful recreation?

My favourite Faroese singer/songwriter, Eivor, has a new album coming out in June, simply entitled, Enn.

If the rest of it is as good as this...

If you enjoy Historical drama, I have just watched an excellent three-parter on Netflix called Gunpowder. It is an excellent dramatisation of the plot to murder King James on 5th November 1605. For those who are unaware of what that is, it is why we celebrate Bonfire Night (not because I was born on the 5th of November, but you can be forgiven for thinking it! 🤣).

Even better, for me at least, it was filmed around the area in which I live. It also features Liv Tyler.
