Remains of carrier pigeon found dead in chimmney carrying coded message.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
I saw this one on the news.A facinating tale,shame the poor bird never made it home but then again we would be missing out on the intrigue!!I hope when they decode the message it does'nt reveal some peice of information that would have ended the war 3 years earlier,that would be a sickener!
What a great story! I wonder how many other carrier pigeons never delivered the message

"In all my years as a soldier, I have never seen men fight so hard." - SS Obergruppenfuhrer Wilhelm Bittrich - Arnhem
it made it home but not to the right.
Probably message will say "bring milk and sugar - SHAEF reserves are running low"

So this is what really happened to 'Speckled Jim'...... I knew Captain Blackadder was innocent!!
Actually the chap found the remains back in 1982, and it took this long before anyone he informed about it to take any interest and look into it....
