Footprints in history

Blimey Reg! Is there any part of 20th Century history you DIDN'T have a hand in? Even building a house links to a catastrophic world headline!
We haven't yet heard about your visit to Dallas when you stood on a small hill next to some chap who told you he was shooting pigeons!!
What about those 4 young Scousers you met in Hamburg and bought a meal for?

Seriously, it's the matter of fact way, explaining about cars being left and tourist families making enquiries that gave clues to some of the identities that brings a depth to the account that we just don't get from news headlines.... another interesting post. It really is good to see so many people now participating, helping bring the events of those times back to life.

Now waiting for getting a JET pilots wings!! Converting from props to the 707, that should be interesting. All the best!
