Johnny Wheeler Posts: 16 Joined: 18th Jun 2009 Location: USA	quotePosted at 20:17 on 18th June 2009 Hello All, Just joined up and thought I'd say hello. I'm 44, live just outside of Albany, New York, love Britain and just got back from my first trip about a month ago now (doesn't seem that long). I am a writer by profession and have an extreme passion for British history and specifically the Second World War. More specifically I am quite passionate about the Battle of Britain.

My husband loves the Second World War history too - his father served in the Eighth Army throughout the whole war - he fought in Africa then eventually travelled all across Europe as part of the liberation and finished up in Venice at the end of the War. Sadly he has been dead for 20 years now but my husband still loves to retell some of his recollections. I am from the West Midlands. Wheeler is one of my family names - my sister has done alot of work on our family history. Edited by: Stephanie Jackson at:18th June 2009 21:45 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
