Especially since they were poncing about in Oz on airline ops during the war when he was getting shot at overseas!
What a breathtakingly ignorant statement. I'm sure those Qantas pilots still listed as 'Missing- presumed killed' or those that are listed as 'killed due enemy action' appreciate the thoughts and support Amos. At least your Spitfire mate had the opportunity of returning fire.

Many of my Qantas forebears saw more action than would have some of their RAAF bretheren. Interestingly, those QF drivers that are listed missing or listed as killed weren't actually in Australia being shot at by the local CWA militia on a training exercise! I bet they weren't carrying joy riders around either, somehow I suspect their cargo would have been primarily military in nature and their destinations not 'poncing around in Australia'.

Forty years ago you were being ignorant Amos. 40 yrs later I see nothing in your posts to not support that view still!
