Technical Help / Re: Ancestry in French

I do not think it is for either of these reasons, Spelk, I only started experiencing this problem this September, so long after Brexit and long after the French legal attitude to DNA testing.

Hi Judith,
Sorry my idea does not work for you, hopefully it will come right with the next update of Windows or Firefox...

Hello Judith, I am London-based but often visit France and have experienced the same problem of being redirected to ancestry.fr with no other choice when in France. I finally fixed the problem by Googling "Ancestry", first hit is ancestry.com, click the link, I got a page in French but by scrolling to the bottom I got a choice of language and location, and clicking on Anglais/Angleterrre took me to ancestry.co.uk and since I have had no problem...
Hope that helps,
Paul

World War Two / Re: Aircraft Identification
« on: Saturday 04 October 25 18:14 BST (UK)  »
The aircraft that the lads are working on is definitely a Spitfire. The air filter looks different to the image from Alan as it appears to be a Vokes filter usually fitted to the Spitfire Vc for operation in dusty conditions.
The Thunderbolt appears to be from 81 Squadron which would mean the photos was taken mid-1945 as they did not re-equip until then.

The aircraft in the background is a Republic Thunderbolt (P-47 in US parlance) and it is sporting Far East Air Force style roundel and fin flash, i.e. no red, just blue and white, so certainly looks to be somewhere in Asia.

And a wig in French is "une perruque", pronounced peruke

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: 1950 social can you clean up and possible identify the crest on the wall

I will suggest that it is The Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes written in the frame though I cannot find a link to Advance Hall for the moment, maybe others will be more inspired,

Hello,

Not the world's leading expert but I think that your abbreviations are "Bty" as in Artillery Battery.

Confused.com here... Still had problem using Chrome so finally tried Edge and it opened the Ancestry messages normally. Went back to Chrome and it too opened the messages normally! Any tech experts care to explain... At least I can get back to my contacts...
