Old correspondence about these panels was placed in my copy of the book by Bill Rowe, for the convenience of future researchers. At the time Bill Rowe (in England) wrote "The Battle of Britain in Lace" (about 2003), he noted 19 of 20 panels had been located. His book is quite comprehensive, and there is a lot in our Arachne archives, if anyone wishes to search Battle of Britain. http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html Brian Farr wrote privately to some of us in 2008, and we have his email address from that old information. However, I will not publish it on the very public Arachne. Write privately, with a good explanation of why you need it, and I will attempt to forward your letter to him. In 2008, he had located 30 of what he thought were 38 panels. A reminder to travelers: There is a Battle of Britain memorial window in Westminster Abbey, which commemorates for all time the 1,495 names of the RAF, the Canadian, New Zealand, Australian, South African, Polish, Czech, Belgian and American aircrews who gave their lives so that Freedom would not die. It should be noted that the Battle was before America entered the war, so any Americans would have joined other forces to participate.

Eastern Daylight Time, gil...@aol.com writes: I know many lacemakers are interested in the Battle of Britain Commemorative Lace Panels, despite their machine, rather than hand, origin, so I thought I should pass on the rather scanty details of a new book on the subject that I was shown this week. The book records the location of all the known surviving examples of the panels with press cuttings and other back-up information, together with copies of photos that were the inspiration for many of illustrations in the panels. .... it was written by an Australian, Brian Farr, and self-published this year (2015). Part of the publication proceeds are going to The Aviation Heritage Museum, Bull Creek, Western Australia and I .am afraid this is the only contact given in the book. Gil
