Fascinating Day at Croydon, in spite of a screaming kid. Sorry, I only access emails and internet via desk top computer and I didn't turn it on before we left so didn't see the greetings for Dr Anderson.

Photos handed over into their collection.

Photo of Djalak on the wall which was quite exciting. I was able to explain its name and add that it had been destroyed in 1940. Thank you for those little snippets. Also a photo of a Ju 52 along side a DC3. Some really wonderful photos there.

We were told about Pilot Officer Prune, a cartoon character who popped up in odd places. Is that where the name of the forum comes from?

I still have no idea when my Dad was there or why although it did strike me that as he was a radio boff - went on to radar pre and post war - it might have been to do with the radio. It may, of course, just been a jolly day out.
