Another age

The mono Monday theme this week is 'Narrative, every picture tells a story'.

I have taken a picture of a picture drawn by one of my maternal grandfathers, Archie Clelland, of a tiger moth. He drew this while training at the RCAF Port Albert Air station in Ontario, Canada for the Fleet Air Arm, but we know very little of the detail. Added an extra of the planes they actually flew. He survived the war thankfully or I wouldn't be here. He met my gran and they had my mum. He sadly died at the age of 27 in 1951 from tuberculosis. I suppose if he had lived then things would have been different. The butterfly effect of chance would mean I probably would not have been here either. Don't want to go down that rabbit hole of a deterministic or probabilistic universe or you'll go crazy!

The other element of this story is that during WW2 he flew supporting the Arctic convoys between Britain and Russia where arms and food were sent to places like Archangel and Murmansk. How times have changed, it really is a crazy world.
