Northampton too.

A few months ago a woman appeared on Antiques Roadshow with the WWII flying memorabilia of her Dad, who had flown Spitires and Dakotas (and had a Caterpillar Badge), and had recently died. Odd, as I had known her from school in Harrow, not seen her for 45 years or so and recognised her instantly on TV. Stranger still, her parents had been Hon Granparents to my nephews and neice through the Catholic Church in N Harrow.

Courageous bunch, the Poles, Czechs, French and other Europeans from occupied countries who fought in all 3 services, at considerable risk to their familes, and to themselves if captured.
