  1. The reference to Colonel Klink in slide 15 intrigued me, it is apparently an attempt at humour by the compiler. After investigation I established that it refers to an American sitcom set at a POW camp during WWII

  2. Fascinating series of photos, Soutie. Thank you. Gives a whole new meaning to “twin-engine”, that Dornier.

  3. Many thanks Soutie. I love being shown bits of history about which I know absolutely nothing!
