Well, my lady says I'm a BIG BOY with a BIG TOY, so, sorry to shatter any illusions out there! - That's why I'm not online ALL the time...Back to the topic, y'know AIRCRAFT???- Sensibly, the Brits bombed by night, in camoflage, and dreamed-up Radar to assist them, and had manoevres to protect themselves- An ANZAC survivor stated on TV here tonite, the Germans bombed, we ducked - the Brits bombed, they ducked - When the US bombed, we ALL ducked...

Well I had to say something to establish my male credentials - I gather this became a topic because I indicated a welcome to a lady who visits this forum, and y'gotta admit, most females aren't into this type of thing - I find it 'stimulating discussion' to hear their point of view; my lady's into Warbirds, mostly from my obsession with it, but it's big plus nonetheless. After 3 marriages, to have a partner like this is awesome, I don't dismiss females outa hand...they are the deadlier of the species...and I've 4 kids to prove it !!

[the lancaster kicks ass]

if we didn't have the lancaster, germans would take over the world...............

They also did indispensible work at the end of hostilities returning POW's, dropping supplies to civilian survivors in Europe and giving the hard-worked groundcrews an oppurtunity to see what it was All For, by flying them around over Europe to view the aircrews' handiwork, flights they called 'Cooks Tours'...

[cheddar cheese]

if we didn't have the lancaster, germans would take over the world...............

so you're saying that the lancaster won us the war? no, germans wouldnt rule the world, soviets would 8) no wait, soviets WILL rule the world

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

so you're saying that the lancaster won us the war?

not quite, just that we wouldn't have won without it....................

 

[cheddar cheese]
