That's good **Ann**. I love old photos.

We have a friend who collects and restores them. He does an amazing job. :-)

The photo I showed you of my Mum at 17 was from a small old battered photo that I had restored a few years before my Mum died. She was chuffed with the result

My youngest son had a fan club when he was at school in the 6th form.

The girls used to phone up when he was absent asking if he was ok ;-) ;-)

My Mum said that all her WRAF friends thought that my Dad looked like Prince Philip :-D

Yes that's very wise Von.
I have some photos after my Great Aunt and I have no idea who they are.

Some I was able to work out cos of GR. I even managed to contact descendants of a few of them.
