On the 22nd February, 1944, the pilot of a crippled B17 bomber, Mi Amigo, attempted an emergency landing in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield. In avoiding schoolchildren in the open area, he crashed into the rise behind the park cafe, and he and his crew were all killed. A man who witnessed the crash, Tony Foulds, has tended the memorial since it was placed in 1969, and has campaigned for a fly-past on the 75th anniversary. This is going to happen at about 0845 Zulu following a memorial service.

I feel sure that this will be of interest to many. The event is to be broadcast by the BBC.

I just noticed that I changed the name of Helen's ex. Chapter 3 is in the queue for repost correcting my mistake. Sorry about this, but it'll cause confusion later otherwise!

Some time ago, a reader challenged me to reverse my usual pattern and have an older woman with a young man. Here it is, set. in Dulcie's world. The first two chapters are in the submission queue. Oh, and the Clitorides are open for nominations - Hint, hint.

I'm working on a new 'Dulcie' episode. While discussing a point of theology with Peter, I realised that somehow 'Dulcie' has become a real person in my mind, who doesn't necessarily share my own ideas and beliefs. My characters do take on a life of their own quite often, but this pushes that rather further than usual. Sadly, I can't call in at St. Mary's Rectory to discuss things with her...
Oh, and what's the episode about? Not theology, for sure. A reader challenged me some time ago to reverse my usual pattern and write about an older woman and a younger man...

Sorry, but there are two factual errors in the two first chapters, so a repost is necessary. It's in the hands of the moderators now.
