Battle of Britain day
Today is BATTLE OF BRITAIN DAY, in case you hadn't noticed.
It's also my son's first birthday. Cool, huh?
This is the anniversary of the day for which we owe our freedom to 600-odd very young, very scared and very inexperienced pilots.
Who among us, if anyone, would NOT have volunteered to fly a Hurricane or a Spitfire in England's direst need? There was no shortage of aeroplanes, just pilots.
If you can come up with a reason for NOT having been there, age apart, then throw your hat in the ring. Say so now, why dont'ya - and give good a reason why you woudn't have helped.
