My thoughts on Facebook earlier
On This Day 13/05/1943. π§΅
Steve departs Scampton on what will be his final trip to Duisburg. His first trip as a commissioned officer. Having been reposted to the squadron on commission 11/05/1943.
Steve, pilot Paul, friend & Navigator Mac have all been away on commissioning coursesβ¦.
Almost. Stretched half my body in. π
Great to see the @tankmuseum.bsky.social 's Churchill tank in Luton, where 5,600+ were built at the Vauxhall motor works.
The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park & the volunteers that run them are superb! It's so wonderful to see working (replicas) of Alan Turing's Bombe, Bill Tutte's Tunny machine & Heath Robinson.. and of course Tommy Flower's COLOSSUS.
