I was born 2 miles from Duxford airbase, home to WW2 fighter squadrons. My mother recalls the drone of Spitfires & Me109s above while she was in labour.
Some say I look good for my age, but it was 1968 & they were filming the movie 'The Battle of Britain'

A lot of interest in the archives of Lake District Holocaust Project. Eighteen years of interviews, documents, photographs, artefacts, archaeology, all amounts to a lot of material. It all begins in 1909 and a Kendalian who set out to build his “castle in the sky”.

I was walking past Ealing Film Studios and saw this building, so evocative of movie making of old. It is in fact the oldest studio in the world dating from 1902. The site now has 5 stages and is still a thriving film making community #movies

Amongst my most popular enhancements is this beauty, from a colour paget plate by Frank Hurley. It's Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance - looking as though it is sailing the clouds - taken shortly before its sinking in the Antarctic in 1915. Its wreck was discovered last year

Absolutely brilliantly put together and some crucial elements of why we should record the good, the bad and the ugly side of our family tree 👇👇👇👇
A great read albeit a tragic heartbreaking tale of a mother and child. Embracing both light and dark is vital for understanding our ancestors' lives. I just did a video on why we need to record our dark family histories. Have a great weekend! Thanks again! youtu.be/8IZDXOFJ3N0

Laundry Day in Genoa, Italy, in 1928. This autochrome of the neighbourhood washing lines was taken 95 years ago by Hans Hildenbrand. It is an original colour photograph and not colourised.
