This is my first attempt at Blogging

On Thursday I drove down to Shrewsbury to visit a local Indpendent School and on Friday present them with a Battle of Britain Historical Society Memorial Plaque.
It was in the name of Flying Officer Eric Stanley LOCK DSO DFC & Bar who had one of the finest records of destroying enemy aircraft during and after the Battle of Britain.

I was able to combine this with my first visit to Shrewsbury, a wonderful historic city with many examples of restored buildings and plenty of floral displays

Friday afternoon I drove to Stoke on Trent and visited their excellent Museum and Art Gallery to see a preview of an exhibition in the Spitfire Gallery on Squadron Leader George H' Ben' Bennions DFC. He was born locally and it is possible they will erect a Statue to him.
Then to a school in Longton where a Plaque was presented by a local MP in Memory of Ben Bennions and Squadron Leader Ralph Carnell, both former pupils

I drove home in the early evening via the A53 [ never before seen so many Speed Camera posts in one stretch ] to Leek, Buxton, Glossop, Staleybridge & Saddleworth [ Should still be in Yorkshire not Oldham ]
