@fossemidge Seen this @MGBTours? The state of the grave of Captain Backus. I remember Mary telling me all about him years ago. Wasn't he killed by a lorry?

@nedboulting @FitzcarraldoEds Just finished it, Ned. Unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Definitely a book I’ll think about for some time.

@BomberHistories Yes, it certainly was. One of those experiences I remember very well. I had had the place to myself for half an hour and just made it back to the car before the rain began!
