I'll join you again Brenda, although I am getting itchy fingers to get down there sooner! lol Lots of Naval stuff that I want to look up and I've found out that they have thousands of record cards filled in by service men who were in Japanese Prisioner of war camps after they were released and I really want to know if dad filled one in. I also really need to find out more about this runway they were building. Dad mentioned it and it's been confirmed on some sites I've found online but not by anyone who was building it with him. |

Please would those who said they would like to come check their diaries and confirm on this thread that 5th August is okay. Anyone else who is interested is welcome to join us. NB there will be a follow up trip on 19th August for those who can't make the first date or find they need more time at Kew. |
