What a superb gallery.Excellent.+V.A much maligned and so often ignored part of our heritage.Yet,in its day,as important as any castle,fort or navy.In our darkest hour it TRULY gave people hope and a feeling that they were doing something for the War effort.I've been taking shots(no pun intended)of them myself.I had no idea there were so many different types.
