My teachers included: Miss Palmer, Miss Melhuish (Head) and Miss Pellow (Music).

[18 JUL 01] TEMPLARS / WOODLANDS / BROAD STREET

I went to Templars from about 1952 to 1958. Miss Dingley was one lovely teacher that I remember. Another I remember, wore black leather boots, and showed off plenty of leg - I think she knew what she was doing! Sherene Schick was my girlfriend. On my birthday I was given a crown (king for the day), Sherene was my queen. My happiest school days were at Templars.

I then went on to Woodlands - but hated every minute there.

After that I went on to Broad Street. That was an ok school. I knew the new school builder, Jeff Adams, he was a mate of my brother, Mick (Killer) Kiley. Jeff do pop in and see Mick, he isn't too well these days.

Mr Singh was my teacher, he whacked me so hard on the head, that I saw stars - I didn't rate him as a good teacher.

I am also trying to find Barbara May McAnneany, née Webb, formerly from Nuneaton, then Kingfield Road, and onto Treherne Road, Radford. Anyone finding her can have free caravan accommodation at the Seddon Motor Camp in sunny New Zealand.

I am now 54.

[16 JUL 01] WHITWORTH BOMBER

We are rebuilding an Armstrong Whitworth Whitley bomber aircraft for the RAF Museum at Hendon. The Whitley was one of the most important RAF aircraft at the start of the war and carried the fight to Germany in the dark, early days of World War Two.

It is a great pity that none of these aircraft survived the war and there are now several projects to resurrect the Whitley. Unfortunately, few manufacturers drawings for the Whitley survive which is a great hindrance.

The Whitley was made in Coventry at the Baginton plant and we would like to appeal for any former workers at the plant to get in touch – we would be very interested to talk with them and are especially interested in any details of the Whitley’s construction and any memories they may have.

There was an article in the Bedworth Echo. If anyone knows where I can get some information about him I would be very grateful as he was my late dad's relative.

[06 JUL 01] PEUGEOT 500 GL STATION WAGON

I was wondering if I would be able to find a manual that would help me in the maintenance of a 1984 Peugeot 500 GL Station Wagon. A manual being a book that has all the car's features outlined in detail along with diagrams on how to repair it if need be.

Does anyone know where I can get such a manual - maybe someone can direct me to a web site that I can find the information I am looking for?
