I also feel this entrail gazing can get a bit overdone

(wearily) Crumbs, I'm with you there, David - nice to hear someone else say it!

Oh come now, Peter. It just fun. On a board like this, nobody is forced to join in- it's easy to skip past it. Personally I enjoyed thinking about the Beckfoot plumbing, especially as it related to the pre-war plumbing in the house I lived in as a child, during and immediately after the war.

I remember when I first started looking on here, and the excitement of finding that WD included a sighting of what had to be the Bawdsey radar masts- and how that nailed down the time, not of the adventure itself, but of AR's recce for the book, which was some three years later.

It articulates the writing of the stories to reality; a special pleasure.

I reckon I get as much satisfaction from hearing about the process of writing the books as from the adventures themselves.
