I rarely get any contacts or feedback through the site but I received an email yesterday from somebody researching their grandfather who had found him in one of the photographs. I was unable to help him with further info but passed his details on to Dr. Vincent Holyoak. Vince has written several books including one about RAF Bottesford and was a huge help to me as he has an extensive archive of Bomber Command information.
Vince isn't just an enthusiast. He has a senior position with English Heritage and is also their go-to man for anything to do with historic crash sites. I've just received an email from him which contained some very flattering words about my website and I'm feeling quite chuffed so I hope you don't mind if I share them
IanI've been involved in the Dornier 17 recovery that's on the news at the moment - the HLF wanted English heritage's opinion of the project before they'd release the funding. I'm still meaning to get around to re-writing the EH crash sites guidance, to which end, various individuals and organisations have been approaching us with projects, the most recent of which was an arts project on WW2 crash sites in the Peak District. They were talking about various ways of expressing the results and mentioned the web. I sent them a link to your website, and the Peak District National Park archaeologist was only telling me the other day in a different meeting how much he admired your work. He liked the design, the accessibility, the use of original source material and the links. All in all, excellent stuff! You should be very proud of it.
you must have momentarily forgotten to just click on the little blue icon under the avatar. It'll always tell you if there's a valid site.
I reckon Ian pasted himself into that picture. 
I can't imagine him passing that shapely walker without crashing.
