Hi all I just updated the Chalk Blogsite with this article I found the other day, not only is the article interesting but the linked PPA website is nice too. The foPPA also have a number of questions which I thought some of you might be able to help with? Anyhow, check it out and if you can help then that'd be great! Cheers all Matt Chalk Living History
Matt, thats a nice site had not seen it before........ and im sure you will have plenty of intrest in it, and also in relation to the PPA queries.
Matt, I really enjoyed the stories of the glider pilots training with PPA. I was hoping to find more on PPA in Will Morrison's Horsa Squadron, but there's only a brief mention. Morrison does, however, recount his experience of shipping to Taranto on the HMS Aurora. A few pictures at the IWM none of which appear to be PPA specific. Operation Slapstick - IWM Later ... The Popski people are obviously looking for pics of PPA on the USS Boise and trip to Taranto. This could be one as I believe the 156 Parachute Battalion were on the same ship. I doubt very much it will be a new item to them. Part of the invasion force setting out to take Taranto, 1943 Cheers
