Michael Pfrang from St Josef's Catholic church in Obersdorf in Schweinfurt visited London in April to hand over some soil from the church (which was destroyed on Black Thursday) and some ball bearings made by the Schaeffler company in the city. He's seen here with a pin kindly sent by the Second Schweinfurt Memorial Association. He also went away with some soil from St Joseph's Catholic Church in Bracknell, and a $1 note as a token from the crew of #3351Z for his funds. Ballbearings in place on St Josef's soil! Hugh collecting the bottles of the 300-year-old breathing space gathered by the Junior pupils at this Quaker school in Somerset. One will go into the time capsule, and the other will be kept as a decanter with an infinite supply of breathing space. The arrangements at Sidcot were made by Jackie Bagnall, Director of Sidcot's Centre for Peace & Global Studies (right) and teacher Nikki Havercroft.
