Unfortunately.. I went on to view many more vids off that page. God.. I hate it when that happens

Did you see the one about the chap who landed 2 Ansons that had collided when in formation :o :o Sad he never made it through the war having been hit by a bus while on his pushbike and was killed :-(

Thanks for the link, Gary. I just love those old films. I had the thought when the teletype machine was mentioned, and the navigators were calculating the route and the chap was posting assignments on the chalk board about how things have changed. Just think if the internet had existed back then. Makes me appreciate what was accomplished by those brave people.
