Thanks again, Maureene, for keeping us informed of the latest digital books. I have the original hard copies but to have them available on the computer is fantastic.
One copy of each volume has also been uploaded to the Internet Archive (Archive.org) For details see the FIBIS Fibiwiki page Second World War Second World War - FIBIwiki Maureen
We called here at the Grave of Sir Winston Churchill today. VJ Day. The BBMF were doing a three times flyover of the ceremony at 1pm. Sadly only the Spitfire and Hurricane appeared. We could hear them, but due to the large crowd, the tree's and Church steeple it was very difficult to photograph them. They were so low, fast and directly over our heads, unlike at an Air Show. Great to just watch and hear.
