Mustafa,
To keep the thread drift going!!
A slight correction, the pub was on Blue Bay, Grande Bay was further up the coast, past Mahebourg.
Grand Bay's claim to fame is that it wast the site of the last victory of the French Navy over the Royal Navy, back in the 18somethings. Both flotilla commanders were injured in the battle, and wound up in adjoining beds in the Dutch hospital in Mahebourg.
A story about the Little Digger: He was a nav on Mosquitoes for most of WWII, only once did a German aeroplane hit his ---- and Ray actually made the acquaintance of said Me110 pilot, by then a very senior Lufthansa Captain, at La Chaland.
We all wondered if we were going to see WWII, part II, but they became great friends --- giving a whole new meaning to swapping war stories.
Tootle pip!!
PS: Mustafa , any relation to Bunny Lee's two great mates in Bahrain, Mustafacrap and Mustafapee.
