Think photographs.
(That must have given it away !)
Constance Babington Smith?
Connie Babs Smith,
“Evidence in Camera”
if Im not mistaken…
Bluff
I think she was the Air Photo gal who found out about the V1s and V2s - amongst other things…
Constance Babington Smith :!:
She served in the WAAF during WW2 as an interpreter of aerial reconnaissance photographs, and was awarded the MBE and the American Legion of Merit for this work. She died in 2000. :evil:
Well it’s between Tsolias, Bluff and Tubbyboy.
Have to admit that the latter brought the last bit of the gen into the fray.
So it’s Tubs unless you three are going into the ring about it…
Standby… MILL !

Well cuts dont know what happened to tubby but I think you probably did better than me. So lets hand the question over to you.
I think Tubs went on ten days leave, so he should be back soon.
Shall we let him tell us the answers as it doesn’t look like anyone else is up for it ?
Cuts i think you should post a question.
Cuts, we’ll wait another 24 hours.
In fact we waited more than 10 days! Sorry lads!
Tubbyboy is MIA so I will ask anybody to post a ww2 quiz!

OK, an easy one:
What were the two codenames of the humanitarian effort in the Netherlands in 1945, and why was this operation so special? More detail gets extra bonus points.
