On a similar theme, I visit Corfu every year and reside in the hills on the west coast overlooking the sea, I look at the tiny sailing craft with their white sails and at the island of Erricusa, beyond which a US Liberator, on the way to bomb the oil storage tanks in the Baltic, went in, taking with it the crew and the lead navigator .
From that point onward, the raid went horrible wrong and huge losses were sustained.
I find it easy to ponder and say a little prayer for those chaps....still out there.
