More archiving in the collection today and some interesting comments in the myriad of flying logbooks we have alongside the paybooks. ‘Object: kill huns’ is a particular stand out point. Also the Halifax dropping jeeps in post war exercises.

Then there are the maps!

Busy day today as we’re reorganising the Alistair Taylor archive and matching paybooks with bundles. Looking through some of Alistair’s own notes and a blast from the past from @ww2tv.bsky.social as well. A whole stack of these. Someone (not Rich) is even in both photos!

We’ve been doing more archive digitisation today and came across this great set of material for a member of operating theatre technician of the Royal Army Medical Corps during Operation MARKET GARDEN.

Scans and detailed photos of his material will be shared on the VMGCRA Patreon later this week.
