We have just been informed that our Green Bin collections will be resumed by BCP Council!

After all this glorious weather, my wife had me outside doing so much gardening, I think she was about to get me to polish the trees next…so we are delighted to be able to clear away our rotting garden greens !!

In anticipation of the closure of the Mediterranean to the Flying Boats of Imperial Airways in WW2, which had been operating from the outbreak of War at Poole, the plan was put into effect to relocate those famous Empire C-Class shorter range aircraft from Poole to Durban for the Horseshoe Route – that extended from South, and East Africa via Egypt, also India through to Singapore and Australia.
 
Just prior to Italy joining with the Axis Powers, a large number of staff were moved from Poole to Durban by ships from Liverpool, some of these leaving their wartime homes & lodgings in-and-around Lilliput, Poole.

Our group photograph is of beautiful Class Leader Canopus with the whole of the Engineering Section (+ some local recruits) lined-up to send their Love and Best Wishes back to those in the United Kingdom, and of course Poole.
