Arguably the Bomber Boys won the war for us but the Fighter Boys avoided our losing it for us.
I do like that!

Bader always said at every opportunity that he was in a collison with a Me 109. RAF facts show that he was shot down. He probably didn't like to admit it but that is what happened. But, as most say, he will probably be recognised because he WAS recognised.

My man is Park. I shall be at Waterloo Place next September to see the bronze statue of him finally put in place.
