'No, those Fockkers were Messerschmidts.'
I must agree with the views re the GIB in the Spitfire show on the ABC. I'd be interested to know just how much time was shown on him as regards to the commentry on what appeared to be yet another view on the Battle of Britain.
But I must also agree with Gaunty. I think that it is great to listen to the matter of fact commentry from the 'Old Fellas' who simply told it as it was.
I remember not all that long ago reading in a British Aviation Journal how only recently a group of young English Schoolchildren were absolutely amazed that sometimes Battle of Britain Fighter Pilots were sent back into battle the same day that they had been shot down 'without having counselling"
The mind boggles!!
You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.
