Battle of the Atlantic.
Warmtoast,
Lovely pictures - takes us back ! Our MQ was at the end of a row, just like yours, with a south-facing back garden like yours. But we think that it looks a size larger. Obviously, as in the UK, they designed a range of MQs at first, and then replicated them all over RAF(G).
I was a bit puzzled by the row of German registered cars till you told me about the football stadium free-for-all parking - they'd crowded out all your white on black BFG registrations !
Now were they still dishing out petrol coupons in your day ? If so, can you remember what extra ones cost (Dm/Litre) ? ....D.
Geriaviator,
The Battle of the Atlantic, said Churchill, was his greatest anxiety in the war.It was only won through dogged and relentless work by the Navy and the maritime Air Forces, and the heroism of the Merchant Marine. And it is arguable that even that might not have been enough without Bletchley Park and the "Ultra" break-through into the U-boats' Enigma codes, which tipped the balance in our favour..... D.
Cheers to you both,
Danny.
