Slight digression - Dieppe 75th Anniversary 19 August

Today is 75th Anniversary of Dieppe Raid - was recently in contact with an old school pal, turns out his father was a Spitfire pilot on 129 Sqd
Dieppe was his second op ( with only 120 hours t/time) was attacking Hess battery then bounced by 4 x FW's, escaped flying under electric lines then on return found a few holes, changed a/c and returned
