It's Portuguese and is actually Sacripanta Negrita. The meaning is rather unfortunate. Sacripanta means villainous, vile, despicable and Negrita is Black person..

The changes it has affected for me have been entirely positive. My attitude and outlook to a great many things has changed for the better. The only thing I feel bad about is ever going public at all. I wish I had never mentioned it but I have no one to share this with and with the ever...

Not exactly the same no. But myself and a good many people here, possibly a majority, share one thing in particular in common with one another. We all died abruptly in war or a conflict. There seem to be very few who passed peacefully away in their beds if you notice.

I immediately think of the North American P-51D Mustang when you mention 6x .50 caliber armament. They were in both the European and Pacific theaters and since they had real long range capability, over 2000 miles with drop tanks, they were widely used as ground attack aircraft. Fast, high...

A very exciting discovery has just come to light regarding an incident on August 24th when Stuart and F/O Campbell were attacked during a raid on Cologne. They crash landed safely at Woodbridge. The identity of the Luftwaffe night fighter pilot is now known !. They were attacked by Hptm...

With over 1600 hours as a pilot if I were to make a movie of all my memories of actually flying it would run for all of about 5 seconds. Is there a particular year you feel connected to?. Is (are) there recurring things in this life which immediately make you think back to being very young...

Something fascinating has happened recently and I'm at a loss what to make of it. I recently made the acquaintance of someone via a mutual friend and we found ourselves alone. The conversation was remarkable in as much as it was as though we had known each other for always yet neither knew of...

Had been ok until the night I flew it on the 10th November. Last operation it flew was on the 8th to Berlin with Todd and Maclean. It was a write of on the 10th never to fly again. No way of ever knowing but something happened on the 8th I think that somehow affected it's serviceability badly...

There has been an inexplicable gap between my passing and my burial at Brookwood and although I don't have much by way of recollections of that 'gap' period I have found the reason for it, which also supports the clear memory I do have of that time. On my recent visit I knew exactly where to...

My memories, although often persistent from very early childhood are totally anachronistic, which for me proves their validity. Events and subjects I was to young to have learned or experienced dating back to a time or times far predating my birth. Memories of our own childhood have complete...

Had what seems to be my first very clear recollection of home today which came to me as I was making lunch. I'm a young lad watching Mom and another lady in the kitchen. A huge pan of jam is on the stove, there is soft fruit and Mason jars everywhere. At the table the lady is cleaning and...

A six hour round trip and another lifetimes memories finally makes some kind of sense. I cant explain right now why I cried, it wasn't sadness, but I did. /monthly_2013_10/DSCN0409.jpg.9009761b6884e0b3909f7c862dc81b2e.jpg

Jasiewicz seems to be another, more common variation. Always good to follow all leads. If they're not relevant they soon dry up. There are multiple listings for the family name Jasiewicz in Canada which seem to cluster around Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia provinces but none seem to go...

Baroque lute music evokes very strong nostalgic feelings for me. I cant play anything on my guitar without it ending up sounding like some kind of Robert da Visee. I only wish I were that good.. :D

Not really no. It was my navigator Flying Officer Campbell. No co-pilots in those days, even in Lancaster's which had a pilot and flight engineer. I know he survived the crash and most likely the war. He was very badly injured and this was near the end of 1944 so I doubt he would have been...

I have decided to go to Brookwood military cemetery on the 31st. It will be the closing of the chapter, that's the plan anyway. There have been three key images that have been with me since I was very small and are as clear now as then, and which have brought me to where I am today seeking...

That is interesting. What was your first conclusion?. Here is the image again... I'm past caring ;) There are I think 97 in the picture comprising just air crews and officers. The squadron was about 160 including ground crews and auxiliaries at Thornaby where 608 was stationed in 1943...

There are/ were children. They would be in their 60's or 70's themselves now. There is another synchronicity here. She died in Peterborough Ontario. Stuart died in the district of Peterborough UK. The city of Peterborough Cambridgeshire is just a short hop West of where he crashed, which lies...

Just had some more information confirmed. I did have a sister, Her name was Eve (Evelyn) She was two years my elder and she died in 2009 aged 90. Most importantly my feeling that I lost my mom around 1929 is also confirmed. She died in 1929. I was 8 and Eve was 10. Mom was 38. I have just...
