A side note for warbird enthusiasts – not everything in war time is reported or wildly known it seems? – see this link for some interesting stories … http://www.network54.com/Forum/149674/message/1386090893/Not+everything+gets+reported

Hi All,
Yeah plenty of story’s never get back, My Granddad told of two incidents he witnessed in Africa while with the eight Army 1st was a Spitfire land perfectly when they got to the aircraft the Pilot was dead, 2nd a 109 crashed sliding right in front of the wagon he was in, another not aviation related was him and his mates where transferring prisoners of different ranks putting them into the backs of wagons, all was going well when an Officer refused to sit with lower ranks, after a few choice words and still refusing they got this big jock to ask him when he declined he promptly gave the officer a boot up the backside he soon changed his mind. :highly_amused:
