Amen to that pulse1, but being the men they were, and in Cliff and Reg's case still are, little or no complaint at that slight, being more upset at the lack of ennoblement for Bomber Harris, alone among his peers. As a nation we failed him and his "Old Lags" and should be eternally ashamed. Thank goodness for Mr Gibbs and his campaign for a London Memorial. Later perhaps there may be a Bomber Command Heritage Centre at RAF Bicester, a perfectly preserved BC WW2 Training Airfield. And thank goodness for the Queen Mother who was always ready to stand up and be counted on their behalf.
