Was it the print or perhaps just too long?<br />Len and Jean worked hard and deserved their success although I am sorry to say they, to my way of thinking, got a little bit 'snobby' when they were older. Mum may have enjoyed that but me...I'm just a middle class girl at heart and never could be accused of being a snob.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-67690143442896559972015-03-01T19:10:52.554+08:002015-03-01T19:10:52.554+08:00He and dad were both quite good looking fellows an...He and dad were both quite good looking fellows and rather nice with it too.<br />We were glad he survived and his little family meant everything to him.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-78548772808784880972015-03-01T19:10:12.210+08:002015-03-01T19:10:12.210+08:00Yam, it is amazing that you are interested in air ...Yam, it is amazing that you are interested in air history and know so much about Shady Lady. It was a short episode in my brother's life but such an exciting one. I think he was only on loan to the USAAF for a matter of several weeks. He did get some photos as I've seen them but perhaps he wanted more. <br />It is great that you and I have such a keen interest in this. xxMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-50646984659793134732015-03-01T17:22:07.480+08:002015-03-01T17:22:07.480+08:00I had trouble reading the rest after the fudge cho...I had trouble reading the rest after the fudge chocolate cake! I love them and it's been so long since I had one. I kept looking towards the kitchen, think I should make one soon. I'm glad Len and Jean did so well for themselves after the war, they certainly tried a lot of different things which all flourished.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-13162096707504007312015-02-27T22:08:52.050+08:002015-02-27T22:08:52.050+08:00your brother was a very nice looking man...so glad...your brother was a very nice looking man...so glad he survived the crash and went on to raise a familyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-75950215336521632872015-02-27T21:30:02.914+08:002015-02-27T21:30:02.914+08:00Hari OM

I have a an interest in all this part of history, but very particularly, air history, and although I knew of the Shady Lady, to now have (albeit tentative) personal connection with it gives me shivers! I have located the movie [<a href="https://vimeo.com/ondemand/shadylady" rel="nofollow">HERE IF ANYONE ELSE IS INTERESTED</a>] and will absolutely be watching it. <br /><br />Goose bumps I tells ya....
