Help us find Captain Williamson's family
Many years ago, Bill purchased a wooden kist from a Joinery business retirement sale. Inside , he found this broken propellor blade.
He contacted the seller to find out if he knew anything of its history but sadly no information was forthcoming.
He felt it was something that did not belong to him and has always wanted to find its true home. He feels guilty that he has not invested enough energy in doing so.................so todays Blip is in the hope that someone out there may make the connection that we haven't or suggest a route we may try.
Over the years, it has hung above the woodburning stove in Bill's workshop and watched silently as he turned bowls, finials, candlesticks, church collection plates, commerative plates, boards for hymns, and his beloved bagpipesthat are located all across the world giving heart and soul to our musiccal culture.
Every set was were made with Bill's heart and soul.
So tonight, we make a plea, help us find the rightful place for this broken remnant of a brave airman's final flight and let us give thanks for our freedom today.
The wording on the propellor has been engraved crudely with an nail and I have tried my best to capture it with various lighting effects.
It reads:Propellor of Captain williamson's maching killed through snowstorm t Oxford 1916. 28 Squadron 1914-1918. Machine collapsed at 6055 feet
