9th January 1941. First flight of the prototype Avro Type 683 Manchester III - soon to become the Lancaster. Almost 7,400 ‘Lancs’ were built, becoming the backbone of Bomber Command. Along with the Halifax and Mosquito, its contribution was critical as the RAF night offensive intensified.

'Above the Smoke.' George Hyde Pownall was a painter of evocative London street scenes in the tradition of John Atkinson Grimshaw and James McNeil Whistler, combining the effects of fine detail with the loose manner of impressionism. This is from 1917.

26th Dec 1943: Sinking of the German battlecruiser Scharnhorst at the Battle of the North Cape. Caught by a RN force of cruisers and the battleship HMS Duke of York, she was sunk after a running battle lasting much of the day. Of her crew of 2,000, only 36 were rescued from the freezing waters.

It's a great scare that freaked me out when I first saw it, but if you read this article before seeing Nigel Kneale's version of The Woman in Black, it WILL be spoiled. I can't explain to you why, because that would probably spoil it for you too.
