A page to thank the many people and organisations who helped with information for this site
I haven't yet completed this page, so if someone is missing please be patient. I WILL get to you eventually!
Many thanks must go to The Cross & Cockade Society and in particular to John Grech, Andy Kemp and Barbara Huston. Their help has been invaluable and Barbara put a lot of work into the photographs having scanned the entire album and enhanced the pictures that you see on this site. Thanks folks, I owe you one!!
A very special thanks goes to The Zeppelin Group Tondern and their fine museum, and in particular to Svend-Ulrik Orneborg. Some of the photographs on the "Raid on Tondern" page are also published here with the permission of the museum.
Patrick Mallahan in Seattle has contributed some details for me since he has also spent a great deal of time researching the same raid. A special thanks to him for spending so much time comparing all his material with mine and for posting to me some very relevant copies of documents.
"Royal Navy Aircraft Serials and Units" by
Ray Sturtivant and Gordon Page, published by Air Britain. This book has been invaluable
in tracing the histories of some of the aircraft featured.
Some detail has also come from an
article in the Cross & Cockade journal by Dick Cronin (Vol 25/2). The Aerodrome website, specialising in
WWI aviation. It was there that this whole thing began back in the Spring of
2000! The Museum of
Flight, East Fortune, especially Grant Newman for information regarding some of the photos.
Scott McIntosh and the East of Scotland Aviation Research
Group for putting me in touch with Grant Newman
(above)!
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission The Public Records Office, London The WWI Aviation website, for aircraft
recognition assistance Sandy Adam's Sopwith Models. Sandy got in touch with me since he had built a detailed model of Lt. Williams aircraft as flown on the Tondern raid. This link will take you to some photos of Sandy's models, amongst which you will find William's Camel 2F.1 Amazon.co.uk (they did finally send the
right book!) Murray Ryan for his encouragement (and
also for his courage in WWII) Carroll McAllister and, sadly, the late Les Fairweather (plus the rest of ILink-Military) for their interest and for bearing with
me! Also a thanks to The Northamptonshire School of Flying.Why them? Well, this two years of work gave me the urge to get into an aeroplane and have a go at flying for myself. Whether I persue this any further is debateable but with NSoF I got my first taste of flying a plane. It's fun! Do it!! Also a thanks to The Impington Village College Model Aeroplane Club They made me very welcome on one of their flying days when one of their members, Dave Burkin, flew a replica of the model plane that my uncle built in 1911 and is pictured on this site. Thanks guys for a wonderful morning and for seeing a bit of history recreated, that was quite a thrill for me. Last, but by no means least, my Father.
I hope this has been as rewarding for you as it has been for me.
