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 !!

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'...
