On May 20, 2019 I arrived at Tangmere Military Air Museum having travelled from Martlesham Heath Aviation Society the day before. Both of these air bases are listed in Dad's log book and Tangmere was most often mentioned by him in his story telling.
Entries in Dad's log book June 6, 1944 read:
Trevor graciously gave a personalized tour of the incredible museum directing me through the Battle of Britain displays to "Have a look around the corner."
Entries in Dad's log book June 6, 1944 read:

These photos have been in the museum 37 years since 1982 when it first opened.
Needless to say I was very moved to see them.
 The same photo we have in our collection!! |
