    As some of you know, my father was 90 this week. Despite a few health problems I am pleased to report he is still going strong. He told me he was pleased to meet some of you at the wedding last year, and thanks Soren for the fantastic sketches he has done. Was away on his actual birthday, but going to see him and my mum next week.

    Dad in 1945.

    I had often wondered who that was in the photo you use as an avatar at WW2F.

    Now, I know. Thanks!

    He does have my old desktop, but he won't go online. I have shown him some things here, and will do so with this thread.

    Paul please give your Father my regards and best of health. my Father-in-law was a serviceman in the Pacific during the war on a Tin-can, is now 87 but his memory is failing, the body is getting old sadly.

    Be strong !
