Battle of Britain Day

I went to the RAF museum yesterday and took the opportunity to see the film “BoB” in its digitally remastered form on the the big screen in their cinema…wonderful!. Lest we forget.

Of course we shall never forget September 15th 1940 and all who were involved. Please remember too, that 30 years ago today the great aircraft designer Willi Messerschmitt died; September 15th 1978.

:confused:To be honest I was wondering when ‘Piece of cake’ was on. I’ve checked the TV listings and can’t find it anywhere.

Well I understand what he means…having just returned from the BoB weekend at Hendon, and listening to the comentator/ narrator for the reinactment group, talking about (amongst others) Ray Holmes.

Based at that time at Hendon, his well documented exploits during the battle, may not have been typical, but his reaction, to the public acclaim,was.

Watching the reinactors lounging around in the late summer sun, reading newspapers etc, and then, at any moment off to fight, fully aware of the danger, the risk of being burnt or physically disfigured; the ever present danger of being killed, the mental scarring, (that for some has lasted nearly 70 years), the loss of comrades, and loved ones, and the way that ordinary people harden, and become cynical, as a mechanism to deal with what is happening to them; yeah I think ” Piece of cake” is a good choice.

Lets all watch ‘A Piece of Cake’ tonight then, and get it all into perspective.

I too am curious as to what you mean by ‘perspective’. Would you care to elaborate?

Excuse me, but get what into perspective excatly?

Out… Roxeth.
