    Old aeroplane photo's.

    chocks2 Now that is interesting, the write up with those two photos states that it occurred on the Bulwark, to add, old mohawk posted that his brother in law who was on Bulwark at the time ( 1956 ) witnessed the incident, methinks more research is needed. Regards Darby.

    FA Cup Final 1956 B'Ham v Man City

    I remember it well as the song goes, I was serving aboard HMS Glasgow at the time, we were berthed alongside in Cherbourg and listening to it on the radio, I can tell you there were a few Brummie Matelot's in tears too.
