"I have spent quite a bit of time sitting in the Lancaster gate-guardian at RAF Scampton and never left it without the sense of sheer awe at the bravery of the 55000 men of Bomber Command, who never came back."
Thank you, Stik and others.
And those miserable, pathetic and ungrateful Whitehall toadies still refuse to award a campaign medal for those who gave so much in the one fighting service which actually can be shown to have had a demonstrable affect upon the outcome of the war.
But the post-war tree-huggers and other worthless types vilified Harris, Bennett
et al so that Bomber Command and its magnificent achievements were quietly swept under the carpet by the Attlee government which achieved nothing by comparison - although credit has to be given for the introduction of the NHS.
It is a sickening and shameful situation reflecting great discredit upon all of us.
