[Boatanchors] Boatanchor Sighting

[telegrapher at att.net]

I was watching part of the Victory at Sea couple of nights ago.  One of 
the sections, i think it was no. 11 showed a radioman in a blimp. 
Looked like maybe an ATD?  Only saw part of it and it was a quick flash. 
  Didn't stop the program and go back to look at it.

OTOH, that web site that Dave S. (i think it was) with all the W.W.II 
pictures in it and the command sets in the P-39 was a real treat.

WOnder what happened to the web site in England i think it was a year or 
so ago that was going to have around 11,000 photos from W.W.II available 
for viewing.  Recently unclassified stuff.  Last i heard was that it had 
been heavily overloaded and then taken off line.  Is this correct or 
does anyone know?
