Total respect
I would like to pick up on something Charliegolf said.
"It's about a bunch of really ordinary old blokes, playing down their extraordinary bravery."
This to me rings very true, a few years back I was involved in Project Propellor, a day when those of us with light aircraft would fly aircrew from WW2 to an event at an airfield somewhere in the UK.
All these guys seemed so ordinary when you first met them but as you got to talking to them they would reveal lnccidents as pure fact that struck me as requiring pure courage, for them at the time the incidents were ordinary as it was what was happening to all their contemporarys.
It is the very ordinaryness of these guys who were put in a position of extreme danger and continued night after night that gets my total respect.
(Oh if Andy the AG is reading this I have to say there is nothing ordinary about your ability to drink gin! )
