Magic photos. Just magic.
Danny,
I can't comment on the Vengeance at all, but if you wanted an Australian update, the past weekend saw a fairly significant gathering of Bomber Command types at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Several hundred people in all, including 38 veterans - the biggest group of those magnificent men than we've seen in this country in a long while, and likely the last time we'll ever have so many in one place. This was the 10th year this commemoration has been run, so I think an attempt was made to make it 'extra-special'. Veterans were even given travel assistance from the Australian Department of Veterans Affairs if they wanted it.
My favourite was this man, seen here with his daughter: Howard Hendrick DFC, a 460 Sqn pilot. He lives next to the Murray River and had a three-hour drive to Adelaide before he even flew to Canberra. He can talk your ear off, and he
still flies a Jabiru once or twice a month, "just to keep up with it." What a character!
