I will try and give them a call through the week to see if they can trace where this went.

I have called the mill who have informed me that there is a gentleman who sells military memorabilia but he will not be back at the mill till Sunday 8th Jan.

we looked at this last year Garry - I drew a blank on all the leads that I followed

I visited the mill today only to be told that the mill I needed to be at was further down the road. Luckily I had time to visit the correct mill at which I spoke to three very helpful gentlemen who are going to make enquiries and have promised to get back to us.

Excellent news Garry, thanks for taking the time to go in person, it's often much more productive to go in person rather than on the phone

[Spitfire]

Any news on this one yet Garry?

Sorry Emma, I was just reading some very interesting papers that someone had emailed to me.


Not heard anything yet, the guys did mention that it may be a while till they found anything. If I do not hear anything in 2/3 weeks I will call again.

OK, 2/3 weeks sounds fair enough

Enjoy reading those very interesting papers
