Facebook post #005 (Mar 2020)
So, combining photos from a bunch of places we visited last year, I’m working my through from Edwardian to modern to upload to Flickr in order.
I’m up to this sleek machine – which was as much a leap forward as the Spitfire had been over the Gladiator. Five or so survive around the world; a swarm of 30 was one of the last things my grandmother’s second cousin, Bruce Maclennan RCAF, saw of this earth. With sickening invevitability, a burst of 30mm shells took the nose off his unescorted Avro Lancaster, over a U-Boat yard, near Hamburg. Such was 1945.
