You better do it fast before you lose a social life altogether, mate lol. I found some stuff in Stirling myself recently- http://www.ww2f.com/topic/49269-some-local-relics-i-found/?p=545725
I get the feeling the two jocks know each other...Well it is a small place after all...Jockland... The other forum you talk of...is that ww2 Talk...if not..then register there too with the same question. Brit and Commonwealth researches abound there as well as here. And welcome to the forums.

Hi, Hutchie. Glad you could join us. Urqh is correct. If you haven't already registered at WW2 Talk, do so. Between the two sites I'm sure we'll be able to answer your questions.
