    Reminded by this thread:
    WW2Talk - Army Motorcycle training Wentworth 1944

    I've been pottering through this online archive again.
    Seems they've still got a lot to upload, but there's some great stuff on there, and we don't seem to have touched on it much.

    Some ladies & their AA gun, Chapeltown - also being trained in mechanic-ing (Colour & B+W):

    In short... it's really rather good.
    I'd be surprised if there wasn't a little something for everyone in there.

    Hi Adam
    Wills pointed this site out to me a few weeks ago. Very good it is too:).
    Lots of interest for me as my roots are in Yorkshire!
