Just been taking on Miguel's advice on a search for narrative and figured the idea of letter writing is "old fashioned" to some therefore pre-millennium. Then it sort of clicked whist I glanced at the glass cabinet, some of it's contains is a copper plane hand crafted by my Dad's relative in WW2, also some plane models of a magazine that's out issuing every 2 wks a new warplane...so that can be a narrative...wartime letters.

Just out of curiosity I began some research started by my dad, so far I have 52 pages of squad and aircraft details of Leslie Victor Moran, a flight Sergeant Air Gunner of Squadron 158 and was in Halifax HX342 when it was shot down in action. Below is a squad photo unfortunately I don't know which one he is!

I have printed 4 of the pages which I have read and skimmed the history of his squadron but all this info is overload and I can't copy it here because computer says no! It's going in my sketchbook and is being saved as I type! Now...what can I learn of my Mum's Navel family...
