 | It's not exactly easy when you have to deal with teenagers but when you have to deal with a time traveling sixteen year old girl it can definitely drive you nuts. What are you telling her when she wants to have a night out? Make sure not to hang out around the Bastille in Paris on 14th July 1789 or don't schedule a holiday on the beaches of Normandy around 6th June 1944 ... Well, regarding traveling our virtual apprentice Alisande is providing us time |

 | (Cor blimey! Sometimes he's really just fretting too much. He always forgets that I was born in the Hundred Years War, that I was raised in the Hundred Years War and that until I made my debut in the 21st century I had spent my life in the Hundred Years War.) |
... and tells me that after all she was born and raised during the Hundred Years War and I shouldn't worry so much since she had thus a good sense of looming peril ...

... not exactly calming you down, isn't it.
When I asked the damsel where she had been, she told me that she had somehow ended up in a place called RAF Rattlesden, somewhere near Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk, England. There she had met a group of ten young fellows who invited her for a 'sightseeing flight' to Germany with a 'birdlike thing they called Fortress' ...
I had an uneasy sense of the time frame ... and Bingo! ... I was right.
Later our dear Alisande showed me this yellowed sketch which was signed 'Sandy Painter / Rattlesden, UK, 1944' the rest was a bit illegible but could have read 447th B .... Gr...p / ... nd Air Div...n / 8th .... ce.
I wasn't quite surprised that she was talking about sort of a rough welcome in the skies over Germany ...
Alisande also told me that after their return the 'ten good sirs' had insisted that she acted model for one of their mates who painted an image of her on the nose of this 'birdlike thing'
