We recently knocked down the ramshackle old crinkle tin garage and whilst sorting through the wood pile for good stuff that we could still use, the corner of of my eye picked up something. Upon taking a closer look it was a little bit of history, probably to signify when the ‘garage’ was built and by.
Since finding it, a bit of further investigation has revealed what it says as…
Flight Sergeant Ivor Bowen
RWP Jones
27th March 1944
Mrs Ivor Bowen (supervisor)
Apparently he flew Spitfires during the war, with honours and passed away in 2003.
I still have it tucked away, so any relatives/descendants can lay claim to it.
