A shame. Sorry if I raised your hopes. Eh, it's not too bad. I'm freelancing and getting plenty of interviews for real jobs (I'm an editor), so with any luck it won't last too long. On the other hand, I'm also taking advantage of the freedom to get out more, hence the photo offer.

But what I'd really like is to be back in London so I can see things for myself ... I haven't seen that book but it looks like fun -- will have to watch out for the documentary too. Hope the job situation turns around soon. Thanks for the offer! But what I'd really like is to be back in London so I can see things for myself ...

Just saying. Incidentally, I saw this in Foyle's yesterday http://www.amazon.co.uk/Search-Zeppelin-War-Neil-Faulkner/dp/0752441825/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215115438&sr=8-1 and thought of you.

I've found some french alamachs, from 1916 and 1917 and just scanned the pages about aviation. There are some references to Zepellins raids. The most interesting part (to me) is the undisguised pro-french writing :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/rreis/sets/72157605772506898 Hi Brett
