Seen it on two occassions now, well worth watching. Once viewed a programme on Bader, found it to be very interesting especially on the subject of his peace-time RAF service, it appears that he could not settle down to a quiet life running an RAFstation and needed a challenge.

I often wonder whether he just felt bitter about having been downed and was not able to continue to fight the war in the air. :think:

I wonder if that could be true....? They made it seem very plausible didn't they....?

Colonel Mustard in the library with a blunderbuss???


Seems the idea of blue on blue accidents are quite envogue - they were looking for the wreakage in the hope of find 303 size holes????
