Thespians invaded our two hour studio 'sesh' so we took some photos. Soft flash to the left. They are meant to be in 50's gear so the photos have been 'made to match.'
It is fun to watch pelicans doing their group fishing(groups of 3,4,5 or 6). They all duck under at the same time with their butts in the air as they try to grab something. Guess who the lucky one was in this group? I watched several groups and there was always only one winner.
Capt. John R. Smolenski (Group Intelligence Officer) briefing the crews for the mission on August 13,1945 to the Osaka Army Arsenal.
Patience with Japan's government had worn out. This morning the 20th Air Force sent 443 B-29's from the 58th, 73rd and 313th Wings to remind Japan that the war was still on. (This was not the last B-29 combat mission,however. Tonight, 366 more B-29's from various Wings would go out to lay mines and bomb more Japanese cities.) The 73rd Bomb Wing drew the Osaka Army Arsenal as target and put up 165 planes. The 500th BombGroup scheduled 43 bombers plus a Superdumbo comms and rescue plane for this mission. The Superdumbo was Z-45, "Mustn't Touch", but it is not known which crew flew it. Of the bombing planes, Z-47, Dearborn crew,was scratched for unknown reasons, making 42 airborne, organized into four combat squadrons as follows:
First Squadron - 882nd BS (11 aircraft)
Second Squadron - 883rd BS (11 aircraft)
Third Squadron - 881st BS (11 aircraft)
Fourth Squadron - Composite (11 aircraft)
The Force Commander on this mission, and also leading the first squadron, was Group CO Col John Dougherty, flying in Z-39 with 1/Lt John Coffman and crew. Leading the second squadron was Capt Norman Adamson in Z-58; leading the third squadron was Capt Ernest Mock in Z-10; and leading the fourth squadron was Capt WillieSasser in Z-28. The three Squadron commanders were along on this mission, all flying with new crews. 881stCO Maj Horace Hatch was with the McLarty crew in Z-7; 882nd Squadron CO Lt Col Joseph Brannock was with the Kangles crew in Z-3; and 883rd Squadron CO Maj John Van Trigt accompanied the Jennings crew in Z-50. Lt Col Brannock was also the Deputy Force Commander. Maj Austin LaMarche, 882nd Operations Officer,and Maj Curtis Holdridge, another experienced pilot, also flew with new crews, LaMarche with the Wood crew inZ-26 and Holdridge with the Jenkinson crew in Z-25.Take-off was in squadron order as above and was completed by 0713. The 500th was third in the Wing order, right behind the 499th Group. Bomb load was 4 x M66 2000 lb and 2 x M65 1000 lb bombs per plane. Ammunition load was a full 6,000 rounds, 500 rounds per gun. Planes flew individually at altitudes between 8000 and 8800 feet to the assembly point, which was west of Iwo Jima. There were six aborts, reasons unknown -- Z-36, Gerrity crew; Z-48, Hoffman crew; Z-21, Sealy crew; Z-55, Sichel crew; Z-14, Rogers crew; and Z-49, Schultz crew. One of these planes, unknown which, had a serious enough problem that the crew had to land at Iwo Jima. At the assembly point, the planes took 40 minutes to form up into their squadrons, stacked high to the right at altitude intervals of 750 feet. Then it was on to the departure point, climbing to the briefed bombing altitudes of 22,000, 22,500, 23,000 and 23,500 feet by squadron. At the DP the formation was to pick up its fighter escort, which was supposed to stay with them on through the target area. However, something happened and the rendezvous with the fighters never took place.
The 500th passed the DP on time, although Col Dougherty thought the formation was "not up to par." Z-24 and one other plane, unidentified, became separated from the formation and bombed alone. As usual, there was a"weather wind run plane" over the target broadcasting wind direction and speed, which was successfully received. At the IP the planes turned onto a heading of 043 degreees for the bomb run. From 1451 to 1452 the 36 planes of the 500th which reached the target dropped 143 x M66 and 68 x M65 bombs visually with what were termed good results. A few bombs which missed the Arsenal landed in the Osaka Castle area. Four bombs hung up on the racks and one plane had to salvo its bombs over the target.There were no fighter attacks. Flak ranged from meager to moderate. From his ring seat in Z-33, which was leading the second element of the first squadron, Willie Greene thought the flak was "accurate as everything!" He saw Z-35, flying No. 3 position in the lead element, get hit and thought for a moment that she was going to go down, but she recovered. Overall, 11 planes sustained damage but all made it home. For the flight back home, the planes descended to 16,000 feet. All returned safely, although one had to stop at Iwo Jima. The last plane landed at Isley at 2211.

Our tour group was taken to Buckfast Abbey in the morning.
The first Abbey was founded on this site in 1018 and absorbed into the Cistercian order in 1147. It grew throughout the middle ages until it's closure in 1539 by King Henry VIII.
The buildings were converted and allowed to fall into ruin, but in 1882 a group of Benedictine monks, exiled from France, settled at Buckfast and eventually set about rebuilding the Abbey.
It is incredible that a team of no more than 6 monks completed the work in 30 years, and only one - Brother Peter had any experience as a builder.
Today Buckfast Abbey is the only English medieval monastery to have been regranted and used again for it's original purpose.
Going into the abbey church I was told to take my baseball cap off, which I did.

capitals and stone infill to the vaulting of choir and choir
aisles. East end of sanctuary has 2 round-headed arches and 2
round-headed windows above the triforium with a central shaft
rising to a carving of the Coronation of the Virgin.
The furnishings, floors, painted decoration and stained glass
are unexpectedly lavish, particularly the outstanding
metalwork, which is mostly 1928-1932 by Bernhard Witte of
Aachen, inspired by German Romanesque metalwork and described
in some detail in Pevsner. The stained glass is a remarkable
collection, mostly still in the medievalising Victorian
tradition and of the highest quality. In addition the church
contains a C16 ivory crucifix donated by the Clifford family
of Ugbrooke, the leading Roman Catholic family in Devon. 1965
Blessed Sacrament chapel by Paul Pearn conceived as a setting
for ambitious mosaic stained glass designed by Father Charles
Norris, one of the Buckfast Abbey monks.
Historical note: the rebuilding of the abbey church by the
Buckfast monks was well-publicised in the national and local
press and one of the monks with an interest in photography
recorded much of the work: the archive is held by the abbey.
Buckfast Abbey became an important focus for Roman Catholicism
in Devon in the late C19 and C20 with the monks serving
private chapels in the area, including Ugbrooke in Chudleigh
for the Clifford family and Dundridge in Harberton for the
wife of Sir John Harvey.
