A Trip to Tynemouth

ウェストール幻想 タインマスへの旅

Hayao Miyazaki travels to Tynemouth, England, to explore British aviation history and the novel *Blackham's Wimpy* by Robert Westall. The manga documents his journey and his fascination with the story of British bomber pilots during World War II.

Through reenactments and commentary, Miyazaki depicts a scene from the novel, cutting away just as the British plane is spotted by the Germans. He shares his personal impressions of the book and reflects on his childhood feelings about the war and his country's involvement. Detailed illustrations of the bomber planes, nicknamed "Wimpys," accompany the narrative.

In the final act, Miyazaki, portrayed as a pig, meets Robert Westall, drawn as a Scottish Terrier, and they have a conversation. The manga serves as a personal tribute to Westall's work and a meditation on history and storytelling.
