| PHOTO 0024: German Plane: Heinkel He115 |
 |
| Another German plane. Nelson liked 'kites', as he called them. He took plenty of photos and collected many others. This beautiful plane is much larger than it might first look. Notice the ladder on the right of the pontoon and you can get a sense of its true size. |
| UPDATE Feb25th, 2001: Our regular
experts in the field of German aircraft, Thomas Laven and Bryan Brinkman,
have written to us explaining this seafaring plane is a Heinkel He 115. Click on the image to see details. |

| PHOTO 0028: Bombed German Plane |
 |
| Originally labelled a crashed German plane...a number of people have
written explaining the error of my ways. This plane was most probably
bombed sitting in its hangar. See the updates below.
This photo appeared in Nelson's home town paper, the North Bay Nugget, on November 11, 1975 (along with Photos 0003, 0022, 0025) in a special Remembrance Day memorial. |

| PHOTO 0030: Christmas in Holland (1944). |
 |
| This photo comes with the note "Christmas Night in Holland" written
on the back. The bottom is signed by Randolph Macdonald - a fellow
war photographer and friend. The photo shows Larry (on the left)
with another friend, artist Johnnie Morrow, enjoying a quieter moment in
1944. The three were good friends and spent most of the war together.
Nelson's archive includes photos of some of Morrow's work.
Notice the photo pinned to the wall beside the map (on the left of this image). It is Photo 0003 (of Winston Churchill). |
