I have trouble with this one.
beta.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205200021
It describes the famous S-sugar at Hunsdon refueling after its 100th op, I do know that it landed there short of fuel, but the bowser seems wrong for Hunsdon, and why the bomb trolley underneath?


The bowser has B/5 on the back at that time Hunsdon was fighter command ? but not B/5 ??

B/5 is surely 5 Group Bomber Command

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite :twisted:

I don't seem to be able to view any of the IWM photos. Is this another Windows "improvement" or is it affecting everyone?

Hopefully it is temporary.

Not the only one. Just tried IBCC and that is not responding either. This is on top of another mass of dead links in my bookmarks. I am beginning to take this personally :)

I have also decided that it is utterly pointless in crediting websites when they will be long gone by the time I need to.

Edit: Just after I posted about the IBCC website it seems to be working again - phew!

I understand you are p!ssed off, but you should always credit/record the original source, surely, otherwise how will you, or anybody else, be able to assess the veracity of the information

The problem I am referring to is almost entirely photographic as all my information comes from primary sources (TNA, AFHRA, IWM RAFM etc.etc.) which is still readily available. I can no longer trace the original photographers, which is especially galling for photos of buildings that are long gone or unique. I did start getting permissions but realised quite early on that the writing task was going to be a massive challenge.
