Just out of interest I caught something about this on Anglia News at lunchtime, or rather wandered into the living room as my missus was stuffing herself with a butty and got annoyed as to why I wasn’t called in when a spitfire in some museum was on screen, I don’t really know what it was all about, is it a new museum dedicated to the Channel Dash, I assume so as it featured a painting of a Swordfish having ‘a bad time’, presumably it will be on again this evening at 18:00 for those of us in the Anglia Region, have you all noticed, WW2 items seem to crop up in our local news more than any other region.
I echo Moggy’s sentiments, I think that the Kriegsmarine could have got a good stuffing under the right circumstances, I always thought it was a bit of a communications breakdown that caused the poor old Swordfish boys to really suffer, they should never have been sent in, but no doubt their sense of honour was exploited by those at the top.
