Good news and sounds to have been a wonderful birthday treat.
Any photos or was the smile too wide to capture in shot???!!!!!
Does John feel a bit more comfortable about ensuring his training and operational memories are shared in the "Gaining a Pilots Brevet in WW2" thread? I'm sure that he'll be welcomed aboard and once he gets in his stride, he may find it as addictive as the rest of us!!
I'm sure that everyone wants to understand how cold and lonely it must have been sitting and scouring the night skies for any sign of an attack... A real bravery to be responsible for the lives of your mates night after night. That forged a bond of comradeship almost as great as family.
