Many thanks Geoff

Francis was one of the pilots involved in bringing down the Red Barron.

Sending you a email

 

[horse]

Wow! Nice piece of action in the email. Thanks, Gibbo..

Really pleasing to be involved in such illustrious research...

Geoff

 

[gibbo]

It was put together well.
I have emailed her back and asking for some more names that might help to see if she and Francis are connected along the line somewhere.

 

[horse]

Sounds good...

Though the one sadness is that we haven't yet found him in 1911...

Dialogue such as this is so important to our history, it embraces countries and continents across half the globe...
