Anthea,
The documents you posted to me (they arrived today) throw quite a few things upside down.
When I get my head straight enough to write it out in a logical (for me

) sequence, I will post what I have found from those documents.
Just as a starter - Thomas was not in the Armoured Corps.
I will leave it there for now, and take cover to avoid Karmen's

.
Anti-aircraft guns have been deployed to ward off the

carriers ( :witch :witch).
There is a clue in the last sentence
Paul.
