I once had dinner with Wg Cdr John Freeborn DFC* RAF. When I asked him what he did, he replied that he flew more hours and more sorties during the BoB than anyone else! After I got back in my box, he then went on to tell me exactly what he thought of Douglas Bader. None of it is repeatable - even on PPRuNe! Needless to say, he was less than complimentary! Sadly, he died in Aug 2010.
