Gainsey, how many seaplane hours have you got? Do you know how to do a glassy water landing? Stick to the facts. I need alight for my fag, Any one seen my zippo?
oK OK I bit, but you are wrong. I supose you think aircraft recover to ships as well and the term "Deck Landing" makes you go all faint.
PS. I love, "Angles One Five". "Target for tonight" is an outstanding movie. It was used for leadership discussions during my time at BRNC. On the subject of "Battle of Britain". Get the recent DVD and listen to it with the original William Walton score. Truely magnificent.
PPS. Any one remember a kid's drama called the "Aeronauts" On tv circa 1970? French and dubed into english. Lots of Mirages, etc. I am sure it must have been awful, but I loved it.
PPPS! Listened to the original "Bomber" broadcast on a Sunday night drive to Pompey. You are so right about the sound. with the 4 speaker system in the car it did sound (and almost felt) like I was being shot at.
