Yep The sound of those 4 Merlin engines on the Lanc is amazing Thumbs Up

Our generation owe a huge debt to that of our Grandparents. It's very sad that for
political reasons the boys of Bomber Command were not officially recognised for
their contribution during WWII. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

very little recognition for what our guys went through, my Dad god bless him was at Dunkirk, sat on a beach waiting for a boat, no protection, watching the Stukkars come in, straffing the beach, wondering if he would be next, and they all queued up in a very orderly British fashion, no one pushing, all waiting in turn for the little boats, not like the sales at M & S, shame on our modern society I could weep, i am weeping purple people eater

My late father took part on D-day as a film cameraman - he was wounded/shot and his pictures were the first to return to UK to be shown at cinemas of the landings. We still see the pictures on TV now and again but unfortunately my father died a few years back. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

We owe a lot to people who were just like us at that age, but with a very different world to face purple people eater

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Which is why we still have Remembrence Sunday/ Nov 11th - so we may never forget their sacrifice and it really p*sses me off when some MP (usually a left wing one) stands up and says we should forget the past and do away with the parades etc. I believe that we must never forget that sacrifice, but we must not let the past get in the way of friendships today. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

It is true that we can not change the past, we should welcome and enjoy our new friendships and Allies, but should not forget what ordinary people, on all sides, were made to endure to get where we are. Sod the PC MP's, the past can not be rewritten or forgotton, it was what it was, remember, honour, and learn purple people eater
