Bloody good show, Danny
If I could mention a personal 'special' associated with the 10th November, it was that day in 1943 that Dad last flew a Beaufighter. He came off second best to a pack of 109s and finished up in the Aegean Sea, after which he was interred in Stalag Luft IVb. A couple of escapes later he got to the US Army who promptly locked him up again!
Anyway, the Australian National Aviation Museum at Moorabbin Airport have a very open policy with their exhibits and we arranged for him to clamber into their Beaufighter; it was only when we were both in the cockpit chatting to someone outside that we realised it was the 72nd anniversary of his last time there! His memory of what was where was great, and it was quite touching to be there with him. Like Danny he has managed a great life in his 93 years
