Al R,

First, thank you for the kind words, they are much appreciated !

First of all, you must know that I have no experience in (Home) Bomber Command in general, nor of Lancasters in particular.

Second of all, what a load of old bull ! The picture of the Pilot and Engineer is obviously staged on the ground; they dressed up a couple of handsome models and sat them in.

There's no engine noise at all, the dialogue (in the purest BBC cut-glass Received English accents) is in the standard way that the lay public thought crews talked to each other (not a hint of stress in the voices !). And are they supposed to be bombing Germany by day ? (this is in broad daylight !)

I could go on and on. This is all "Boy's Own Paper" stuff, as false as a nine-dollar bill. (Good Show, Chaps !)

Cheers, Danny.
