 | Simpson's Road
This is the location of 1-6 Simpson's Road, Poplar, London, some of the property owned by David Caldow Simpson (1811-1899), and is just to the north of Docklands. It would have been inherited by William David Simpson but due to his premature death was taken instead by his brother David Caldow Simpson (b.1860). It was sold by his son John Graydon Simpson to the local council in 1951. |

 | Simpson's Road
This is the location of 1-6 Simpson's Road, Poplar, London, just some of the property owned by David Caldow Simpson (1811-1899) and left to his son William David Simpson. London's wealthy Docklands area is just to the south; you can see a Docklands Light Railway train in the background.
Unfortunately William David Simpson died three years before his father (something his father's will had not allowed for) so his line did not inherit and his share was divided among the other children. This property went to David Caldow Simpson (b.1860), and was sold by his son John Graydon Simpson to the local council in 1951. |

 | John Graydon Simpson (right) in front of Lancaster ED547 'PO-M', 1943
This aircraft 'M-Mother' belonged to 467 Squadron RAAF of Bomber Command based at RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire. It was originally U-Uncle (hence the pawnshop sign) and carried the slogan 'We take anything' - appropriate since the captain, P/O JH Whiting from Adelaide, SA, was noted for his ability to return to base in spite of damage to aircraft from flak or night fighter combat. The aeroplane completed 40 raids over enemy territory and claimed one night fighter shot down.
Crew of Lancaster ED547 'PO-M', 5 April-22 August 1943:
F/O J.H. 'Fishy' Whiting DFC A407853 - Pilot
Sgt H.J. Pike 575245 - Engineer
P/O W.S. Close 130721 - Navigator
Sgt J.G. Simpson 926079 - Air bomber/front gunner
Sgt G. Self 1078674 - Wireless operator
W/O G.C. Blair R100088 - Mid upper gunner
Sgt F. Fowler 1144830 - Rear gunner |
