If the bodybuilding show at Lincoln has been called off then I imagine there wil be a few rather frustarted and annoyed people - to say the least. The amount of preparation and work that goes into these events for the contestants is incredible and to hear that it's been called off . . . I hope the rumours are wrong and that Mr Lincolnshire hasn't been cancelled, I shall get back to you with more news and information on whether or not the show will go ahead or not.

Taniya Whittall was a Second Officer with the Air Transport Auxiliary. Sgt L T D Regan was the third aircrew member lost. Six ground crew also lost their lives. The aircraft belonged to No. 1 Lancaster Finishing School out of Hemswell. Incidentally, Sidney Chappell died aboard Lancaster R5726 of No.5 Lancaster Finishing School (Syerston) on 4/4/44. On training duty crashed Brenston, Nottinghamshire. All seven crew killed. Regards, Dave. Alison,

Quite clearly the translated Inspeximus deed (above), does seem to suggest that.

This is the church where my 2nd great grandparents were married. Their names were Thomas Rasband and Elizabeth Giles and they were married on Christmas day 1847. This will make their story so much richer! Thank you so much for posting this photo! This is the church where my 2nd great grandparents were married.
