If I were to be asked what was one of the highlights of my service I would say that I was fortunate enough to meet so many MEN. I put it in Capitals because I mean men ,who you knew , instinctively, were out of the ordinary; Leaders and people that were born to command and yet were humble in their ways. The RAF was and, I am sure,is, fortunate in having more of it's share of such people and I have been lucky enough to meet or serve under many of them.
Reg,
Amen to that.
I have been lucky enough to meet a number of veterans of the Bomber war in the course of my research - and to a man they have epitomised your comments. Ordinary men doing extraordinary things - and even today, so humble about it.
You
ARE part of a very special generation.
Sorry Reg
