Couldn't have done better myself, Mr E - but how did you find our Forum?? Walls have ears!!

Pretty pass - never thought I'd have to be helped into the cockpit of a Spitfire by a Lady Reporter. In 'the olden days' it was up, up & in!!

PS - for A4Aers - rather nice??

what an amazing article! The wounds being cauterized and forgetting to unhook your oxygen and radio, makes reading historical articles so much more personal & accessible with memories like that. Thank you Tim x

Just great - but it once again raises the question of outboard guns protruding. Never in my Service. Only in Canada??

Tim I'll have to ask a friend who's bound to know! Meantime here's one of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Hurricanes which doesn't have them protruding!

Fantastic story. You are an amazing man. Wow!!
My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility. Napoleon had that idea. He wanted to conquer the bloody world. I wanted Liverpool to be untouchable. My idea was to build Liverpool up and up until eventually everyone would have to submit and give in. Bill Shankly.

You are a very brave man Tim.

Definition of bravery is being scared sh*tless but still doing what needs to be done.

Congratulations on it being recognised  ;D

Excellent, I salute you sir and now i'm speachless. ;)
Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

Well done sir, i would love to sit and listen to some of your stories over a pint or two all of which would be on me.
When you wake up on a morning say "good morning world" and be grateful

Great stories of some of those brave men. I went out to buy NOTW, should have been patient, could have read the article in great detail on A4A.

It was on BBC Look East local news. Was scanning all the group shots for you, then the closing shot was of you getting out the plane and quoted you about no longer jumping in - or something similar. No mistaking you!!!
They even acknowledged the NoW!!
