The 'Introduce yourself' Thread

Hi, I have become very interested in the history of the Coastal Command Strike Wings, and of Banff in particular. I was very interested to see Cooleyn's plan of the Banff Site and wondered if it was available in a larger size so it would be possible to read the text of the building's key. I see he hasn't been active on the forum for some while, so I wondered if someone else could assist me with any information.

Welcome LankyPete, I am not so much an archaeologist as a relic.

I know the Lancs area quite well yet it does not feature on AiX as much as other areas of the UK. I look forward to any interesting finds that you make.

Welcome

I have recently finished my first book "Luftwaffe over Scotland" subtitled "A history of German air attacks on Scotland, 1939-1945" which is due for publication in spring 2010 by Whittles

I will certainly be looking out for that publication. I have seen many of the Luftwaffe photographs. My birthplace of Irvine was a Luftwaffe target, due to the nearby explosives factory at Ardeer.
