any one else watching?
Wonderful images and tales of some truly great escapades by some heroic men and women
I never tire of listening to them and about them

it’s a shame that the heroics of bomber command don’t get the same coverage – not as PC I guess?

My dad was a radio operator in a welly bomber out of Binbrook during the war

he reckoned the Spitfire boys were a bunch of prima donnas that sat around all day while everyone else was busy working 🙂

Many many moons ago, like in 1981, The Strathallan Collection of historic aircraft was sold off by Coys.

The auctioneer flew himself in.

In his own Spitfire !

Pure class !

Still have my sale catalogue.

Adrenaline and pride is a dangerous, but heady and powerful, concoction 8)
