something to keep you busy until Strictly CD
« on: Saturday 04 October 08 14:58 BST (UK) »
As it's a quiet day maybe someone can have a go at these.
The 1st. is a young Sergeant airman & a member of the Pathfinder Squadron,he was shot down over Arnhem.There's a rather spooky story attached to him.
The 2nd. is a chorister at St.Chad's Cathedral.He had 12 kids (but obviously no rhythm)
Thanks in advance

Great restores Cazza & David,I never got them this good.
OK the spooky story.
This young flier is buried at Arnham,a few years ago the family went there for a memorial service,afterwards they went to the cemetary,as they got to his grave there was an elderly man standing nearby,as they took photos he approached them and asked if they knew the flier,on answering the man said he had seen the plane come down and knew where it had crashed,he took them to the site where there were still bits of wreckage lying about.He even had a photo taken at the time.
It was pure coincidence he happened to be there but the crash had such an effect on him he had researched the crew and knew them all by name,but this was the first time he had visited that particular grave.The family are convinced that Bill Kirkham the flier had brought them all together by his grave.
Makes you think doesn't it.

That's a wonderful story Jim.  I've had a couple of things like that happen to me as well, and it does make you think that maybe someone is out there with a guiding hand.

Thanks Kali you've made him look very grand. :D
Caz,have to say I'm a bit of a sceptic but it's a nice
thought and comforting to those he left behind.
Thanks again Caz,David & Kali. :D :D :D
