carusoam Posted January 28, 2016 Report Posted January 28, 2016 Really interesting story about interesting people, planes and time passing. Thanks for sharing, -a- Quote
MyNameIsNobody Posted January 29, 2016 Report Posted January 29, 2016 Thoroughly enjoyed that. What a treat. To see his emotional reaction at being able to see himself executing that GU in a Spitfire 70 years later. Awesome. What a wonderful treat to show his children and friends. Nicely done by the crew. A nice tribute to their dad. Just hearing nice things about your parents after they are gone from someone that knew them. Very special. Thank you. Quote

Hell, put me at the top of the list. I'm game. Dave Of course it depends on the circumstances. My uncle flew Spitfires in the battle of Britain, and survived. I can't imagine what it would be like to get up in the morning and jump into your plane for a few sorties that day knowing the sky was filled with guys trying their best to kill you. Each day you'd see a friend go down in flames, with a good chance you'd join him in the near future. Then you go have a beer at the end of the day and try to get a good nights sleep knowing that tomorrow was the same. And the day after....... Quote
