No you didn’t criticise them, probably because your not bothered, well I am, I want to see this Country celebrate these events, I can just see the little smile on your face when they wheeled it out 🙂 as for your the last comment, it’s pathetic.

We agree on one point, I’d like these events to be remembered but I happen to think the RAF do their bit pretty well already within the resources they have.

I’m not too fussed either way about the Typhoon. I think the enthusiasts will benefit mostly from the exercise and they already know about the battle. It’s not going to open any more minds beyond the airshows it appears at. Depends what the purpose of the scheme is – if it’s the RAF making a tribute then they’ve succeeded. If it’s about engaging new people with the history of the battle then it doesn’t really do all that much. Maybe a bit of TV and newspaper coverage would spread the message.

Either way, congratulations to them and I hope it brings pleasure and pause for thought to those who see it.

As for you Bruggen, maybe wait and see next time?

Best
