VM - I have a dim and distant memory that the woman who was the model for the "Jane" cartoon had a son who became a Phantom pilot - ISTR he was in the Falklands in 86, but I cannot recall her name or his

H. O. L. L. A. N. D....Holland? Oh well, someone tell Monty that the nearest Market Garden is in Holland, and we better get cracking if he wants fresh ingredients for lunch! Bloody Ouija Boards, how on Earth does Hitler run a war with these things?

"As you can see, gentlemen, our task is to proceed at a moderate pace from country house to country house, staying exactly three nautical miles (which is why the good Admiral here is with us in order to calculate them) behind the Front at all times."
