So today was the 70th anniversary of the famous 617 "Dambusters" Sqn mission into Germany to destroy te Hydroelectric dams and put a dent in the German war effort. All media eyes and ears have been focussing on this historic event, and the majority of eyes were focussed on Derwent Water to catch the iconic LAncaster on a flyover of the dam.  I was unlucky enough to be stuck at work, but was rewarded this evening by a totally unexpected flypast of todays pilots and aircraft of 617, over a cloudy Pickering, in North Yorkshire!

 I had just filled the car with petrol the other day and stopped to have a snack while I rested my missing arm and leg and as usual found my camera was being magnetically attracted to The Isle of Arran (why are most of my images of Arran ! ) which was looking quite pretty in the winter/spring/summer sunshine.I took a couple of photos thinking it was a pity I couldn't get the whole thing in shot and then remembered the camera has a stitch facility for making panoramas...so 14 stitch shots later I had the required spread and.......

.... this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull...But that's not the worst of it.My headlights are out of focus,And it's especially hard to see things up close. My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.

Well...what a small world Carl. My Grandfather was a founder member of TSL and around the 1920's, he came up north from London to "get the factory going" and he worked in the furnace room/glazing shop, his name was Albert Calver. My husband worked there from 1974-1999 in the tubing plant and Rolls Royce department and manipulation, his name is Jim Gossop. My brother-in-law was an electrical enginneer at TSL until his retirement...his name is Richard (Dick) Bird. It is no longer TSL, it was sold out to Saint-Goban and then sold to Heraus.

Thanks you for the kind comments on this picture of my family companion Bonnie.Unfortunately, due to a combination of age and ill health, we had to put her to sleep on Tuesday.At least now she isn't suffering, and is in a nice peaceful place.Many thanks once again.
