Durham / Newcastle Chambers of Commerce.
« on: Tuesday 05 January 21 11:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all, some time in 90s? The Newcastle Chambers of Commerce was opened, inside the building foyer a largish model ship was on display, at some time it was stolen and I wondered if this model ship was ever recovered.
The ship was the Wentworth a merchant ship, my late father sailed on her in Atlantic convoy ONS5 1943 UK to St Johns Nova Scotia, it was attacked along with several other merchant ships between 5-6 May.
Always wondered if police ever recovered the m8del ship.
All the best.

« on: Friday 08 May 20 15:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, I would like to ask a question, my grandaughter has drawn me a copy of this photo which I sent to her
( it was a screen shot) I hoped to get A2 enlargment but she dosn't know the resolution or could tell me how big it would enlarge to, I know I would lose quality getting to large a photo but is thier a way to find out?
Sorry if this is a silly question but I was born 200 yrs to late, techno goes right over my head. Attached copy of screen shot.
My grandaughter drew this copy in an Ipad and does not know Dpi?
Thanks, all the best Derek.

World War One / Evacuating wounded
« on: Wednesday 26 February 20 11:33 GMT (UK)  »
My grandad was wounded twice during the great war, first wound between 12th & 20th October 1914, he was with 2nd batt Kings Own Scottish Borderers, 2nd wound 1st July 1916 Somme, both times brought back to UK for treatment, what ship or ships would have been used, would names exist (records) showing who was on which ship,
second wound with 1st batt Kings Own Scottish Borderers.
Would records (names) still exits showing which ships brought lads back to UK.
All the best.

Technical Help / Usb adaptors
« on: Sunday 10 November 19 11:55 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, please can some one tell me in simple terms ???
If I buy a tablet with micro usb port:
Would a usb adaptor cable then enable me to connect up to my external hardrives,
then can I view and transfer files.
I've an old laptop and several external hardrives with music/photos/ancestry on them.
I would like to know if I bought a tablet with micro usb &  usb adaptor would I still be able to
view/tranfer files in same way as I would with old laptop.
All the best.

Durham / Albermarle. Passing out parade 1990.
« on: Monday 10 June 19 07:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi  all,
I'm trying to find folks who were at Albermarle barracks 4th August 1990 for:
Chindit Platoon.
C' Company Junior Infantary Battalion.
The Last King's Division Junior Leaders Platoon.
On the occasion of their passing out Parade.
4th August 1990.
Our son was to go onto join Green Howards.
A video was taken (no idea of company, photographer who did this)
the video we bought showed mainly the Scottish lads and not much of the Green Howards,
we learned later that some parents contacted the video company to complain and were given a version that
show Green Howards, sadly we never obtained this new copy.
I'm hoping after all this time other family members who attended the passing parade might have ordered
the new copy showing their son's on their passing out parade.
Such a long, long shot but got to try.
I've got all Army group photo's concerning Green Howards from this time at Albermarle, the video
would be wonderful if we can get copy.
Please send Pm if you can help.
All the best.
Derek
