    Airships over Birmingham ?

    Hello again Postie. Have looked for R101 Airship and found it crashed in 1930, just before I was born. I wonder if the Hindenburg or Graf Zeppelin ever travelled over Birmingham on their flights to the Americas? This was in the 1935-37 era.

    Airships over Birmingham ?

    Many thanks Postie. Have looked at image of Airship over Birmingham. You seem to have confirmed that I may have seen the RS101 over B'ham. I will see if I can find out when the Airship was last over Brum. Incidentally you seem to indicate 4 views but I was only able to call up one! Thanks for...

    Airships over Birmingham ?

    Hello everyone. For many years I have had vague recollections of an Airship such as the ill fated (RS 101 ? ) flying over Birmingham in the 1930's. This seems so real I wonder if it was true. As I'm an 'old codger' I would guess it was around 1935-36. At that time I would be living in the...

    Green Pem Montreal Canada

    Re: Pem (Green) Montreal Canada Hi sylviasayers. Excellent lateral thinking! I am reasonably certain that the name is Pem. In her letter she signs herself as "Pem and Bill" However I will certainly bear in mind your suggestion. Thanks for your input.

    Green Pem Montreal Canada

    Re: Pem (Green) Montreal Canada Hi gee-em. The answer to whether Pem is a Green, is uncertain, I am inclined to go along with your thoughts that she may be the Pem Ward that you have identified .In the letter she simply signs herself as Pem. She calls James uncle, but of course it may be her...

She emigrated to Montreal Canada, I think it was sometime in the 1920,s. In an undated letter, which I have guestimated as being in the 1940's, she refers to someone called...
