Oh yes, Shona - I'd forgotten that he was married and that his widow would therefore have been his next of kin.

I found this episode very enthralling, although the ground (WW2, flying heroism, illigitimacy, adultery etc has all been covered before). Minnie came across as very natural, no blubbing or "OMG!" every 2 minutes. It was lovely that she was so thrilled to get a photo of her grandfather, a moment I'm sure most family historians could empathise with. The best of this current series so far.

I just watched the programme on iPlayer.
I really enjoyed it. Minnie seemed lovely. I did notice Minnie's father had a full sister as well as a half brother, but I don't think they mentioned her. His sister died in 1930 when Ronnie was about 9. I too remember seeing photos of my paternal grandparents for the first time and also learning more about my father via his service records just like Minnie did, which made it especially interesting for me.
