Hi from Essex

Welcome in

Now that's what I call a souvineer. Is it one of those jap chi-ha things ?

Welcome

I brushed mine ,and quite pleased with it, but if your going to use sticky stencils they don't apply very well in my experience

I'll be there with Betty

Don't forget to come and say hello then

Just spoke to the organiser. It'll be £35 for a vehicle with two people including camping from Friday to Monday. There is also a discount for a group with block bookings. Therefore clubs that book in a group of say, 10 vehicles then it'll be £10 per vehicle with two people as the organiser has to pay a third party for the camping ground. Maximum of two people per vehicle.

Thank you, I will book it then.

Hello !

Jet provost, a moment ago, heading SSE , quite low.

Light Blue (Sky Blue??) as painted to reprisent the Spits that did the recon on the Dams before and after Operation Chastice (Dambusters raid) to see the effects of the bombings. Painted that colour because of the high altitude they flew!

Welcome in

I shall remain no matter how long I may live...still completely and absolutely in awe of the 'boys' of Bomber Command and I do NOT use that word lightly....they were 'boys'.......

...they were generally between 18 and 25 years old....and roughly 55,000 of them died.........and I absolutely deplore and detest the 'revisionist' thinking of many people today, that judge their efforts from the effortless comfort of an arm chair to have been.... 'pointless' or even worse ... 'murderous'..

... We were in a 'total' war and that means ...'win at all costs'..and we simply had to ...our world today would have been immeasurably different if all the young men and women of our Armed Services had NOT given everything they had.........to all those that say so effortlessly nowadays

"oh the heavy bomber campaign achieved nothing ' ?....I say this........

How many hundreds of thousands of German troops and anti Aircraft Guns and Pilots and Aircraft , and how many millions of gallons of fuel and millions of rounds of ammunition and other resources were tied down in trying to defend the German cities and industrial zones?.....the answer is of course....uncountable.......

....and if instead...they had been available to the field commanders at the 'fronts' ?...

.....what might the effect have been ???.......it is of course.. impossible to say or calculate..........

I fully agree with that.

They will always be heros to me. I am in awe of them all

That's amazing

Well , errrr. Ho hum. That's what I saw really :red:.
