Talk on The Isle of Wight at War 1939 - 1945
Thursday 24th April 2025
A large group of members were treated to a fascinating talk by Mark Earp on the Isle of Wight during the Second World War. This was illustrated with many photos of areas that we still regonise today. One of the many interesting facts we learnt was that Osborne House was not bombed due to the gardeners laying out large sheets in the grounds which, from the air, the bombers mistook for the roof of Osborne.
