Al - I agree, the Belgians were rascals. But at least they were on our side!!

I still cherish the memory of a joint NATO helo gathering at Ahlhorn's 60th Anniversary at which I was sent to display the mighty Wessex.
A young Luftwaffe Leutnant about to give the met brief asked the assembled company if anyone minded him briefing in German. I had enough school boy German to cope but a crusty Belgian Major, in a real leather flying jacket and with an S58 (piston powered version of Wessex), claimed he couldn't understand German and turning to me winked broadly and announced "who won the bloody war anyway"! The brief continued in English.
Sorry, off topic, about that Dauphin, how's it doing?
