I just wanted to record here a few "thanks" to the people that have helped with this project. I almost decided not to have a "thanks page" in case I missed anyone out, but at the end of the day, I thought that I would!!

First of all, it needs to be to my friend Stuart & his dad Barrie who, having spotted the signatures in their shed had the presence of mind to protect them behind a thick sheet of perspex

Next comes the families & friends of these servicemen who, when I've been able to contact them have given freely of their time and have kindly answered my pestering questions. I'm not going to mention you all by name in case I miss anyone out, but it's been a real delight in talking to you all - Thanks.

More than that, however, has been the impact that this research has had in that old family friends have made contact after many years, family members have become interested in their own history and, in one case that I'm aware of, a huge family reunion has taken place for whiich, apparently, I'm to blame!!

I'd also like to thank Arthur Brett, one of the people who posts on to the World War 2 Talk website as he kindly spent the time in researching through some of his resources to provide many of the PoW details that you see on the site. Stuart Hadaway of the RAF Museum at Hendon has been really helpful in researching information out on Flt Lt John Harder. To John Levesley who provided much of the information on the two American pilots - Elledge & Gillespie - and who built the Winkton Website and to Stephen Fryer who pulled together the information on the RAF Harrowbeer website

Finally, I'd like to record a huge thank you & recognise the debt of honour that we all owe to the18 men that recorded their names in the shed; without their efforts & sacrifices, the world would be a very different place. With these, I also include Tony Cooper who I met, with my son, and spent an enjoyable few hours reminiscing about his time with the RAF & the friendship that he shared with John Harder.
