Several of the older industry magazines (Hotel & Caterer etc.) published new (senior) staff appointments & news. A search of the British Library brings up several catering journals covering the 1960s.

You may find this interesting especially as Genadiuz Bondarczuk stayed in the Lincolnshire area after the war, until his death.

A new museum at RAF Ingham just north of Lincoln opened in 2024 which specialises in the contribution made by the Polish Air Force and the history of the PAF squadrons during the War. It also covers some of the social history of those people who stayed on in Lincolnshire afterwards.

The old Hangar No 2 doors from RAF Swinderby which were painted in WW2 with the emblem of the Polish Air Force and feature in many of the historical march past photographs of the P.A.F. have been rescued too and are going to be displayed in the future.

One of the best curated museums I've visited for a while, well worth a visit.

Worth remembering that some course members may have non-consecutive numbers due to previous enlistment or after being re-coursed or moving trade - a few examples...

Illness or injury requiring a break in training
Failing to pass an examination or test needing a resit (re-course) onto a later intake.
Moving from another trade, very common in flying training schools moving from ground to aircrew  roles. e.g. Ground Engineer to Flight Engineer.

When I went through OCTU Henlow in the 1970s, the service numbers were all over the place with senior NCOs receiving commissions, other trades trying for aircrew selection, University Air Squadron direct entries and so on.

Just thinking about place names. There is a small village called Marton halfway between Chirbury and Worthen on the B4386 (52.616237256079216, -3.0531225185744693).

It is close enough to the Welsh border (about 1 mile) to be moved between Shropshire and Montgomeryshire over the years in documents.

@AlanBoyd Thanks for the link to the map.

I'm familiar with the location of Bugle Lane after researching my 2xGtGf Edmund Jones who lived in Barker Street (1841), Bridge Street (1851, 1861 & 1871). However, the address of the Bugle is listed as 7 Hills Lane in the 1901 Census and Shropshire Archives have it listed as Hill's Lane too. I think there was frontage to both Hill's Lane and Bugle Lane.

Bugle Lane was also known as Payne's Lane and Little Lane and was demolished in the 1930s. Hill's Lane was also known as Knockin Street.

Photos of the Bugle can be found at http://www.shropshirehistory.org.uk/html/search/?fields%5Btype%5D%5B%5D=&keyword=bugle&submit=Go&keywordSubmit=true

Harriet's son George Owen Jones and family were living in 30 Hill's Lane, but it appears their young 5 year old son (George Ernest Campion Jones) was farmed out and staying at the Bugle with his gran.
