Facebook Delivers News of Karma
When I was sixteen I reluctantly followed my brother and his mate into the local YMCA club after our Army Cadet parade night (I knew the reputation the place had)
No sooner had we walked in than a thug jumped me from behind and pounded his fist into the side of my head. He was quickly grabbed by a bunch of guys (as was I) intent on separating us and avoiding any more violence. I wouldn't have lasted long against this enormous moron so they did me a big favour Today, after acceeding to a Facebook friends request from a bloke I only vaguely remember from my home town and who numbers quite a few historical bullies from that town on his friends list, I was gladdened to see a photo of my attacker (that he'd posted himself) lying in a hospital bed with tubes coming out of his fat body, the bastard You see, it seems that what goes around really does come around

Lt Alden P Rigby
Facebook can be a wonderful thing. I recently posted in an aviation group my painting of Lt Alden P Rigby mixing it with German 'Bodenplatte' raiders. Then before I knew it I was being hailed by both his son and his grandson!
This has now been published on a large greetings card so I'm very pleased to be able to send them one each, since they are both avid collectors of anything connected with their illustrious relative

Had not heard this before, 50 enemies while only starting ..
Very good painting of the blue nose, with the aluminium shimmering in the winter sun

In the meantime...
This B-17G flew over our road about 25 minutes ago and headed for Boston, seemingly to do a flypast at some event in the park because it came straight back. It was quite a way up but I didn't want to risk missing the moment whilst operating the zoom, so I settled for a few long shots. I've no idea where it's from but it headed south towards Norfolk
When I told Moira what it was she said she did hope that we get to see at least one more special bird in the garden before we move. I said maybe a Golden Eagle will swoop down and take one of her mother's yappy mutts when she visits one day. I'll say "Quick, Moira... get the bird book so we can tick it off"

Get a longer lens! The only B-17 not on static-display in England is # 44-85784 out of IWM at Duxford, restored as the 'Sally-B'. Only 2 flight-worthy B-17's are in all of Europe. The aircraft bears the livery on one side as #41-24485 'Memphis Belle' used in the movie in 1989. https://www.sallyb.org.uk/history.htm

Thanks, Aktung. I saw the aircraft on their way to film at Binbrook in 1989. Again they crossed our road but at the other end that time and going north; I was carrying picnic chairs around to our neighbours' house for a bbq
Amazing how these machines are still flying when you think of how many cars you've sent for scrap in that time
