TinWing: To quote Darth Vader: “I find your lack of faith disturbing”
As an ex RAN member- please respect the dead of both sides as we have done so down here. On the day of the two wrecks being discovered the national flag was flown at half mast to signify our respects. Could you lower your tone and respect them as well PLEASE.
Quite on the contracy, I guess TinWing has done a much better job showing respect to the dead by telling the truth of their fate than all empty ‘expressions of sympathy with the relatives and mourning the dead’.. Don’t mean to offend anybody, but how helpful can be mourning the dead by someone who has never met them or their relatives, lived 15000 miles away and 70 years later?
The time of mourning was 1941, now it’s time to know what happened and speak about it openly.. I think I am right assuming that if there are any relatives left, then this is what they long to hear, not cheap phrases. There is no better way than truth to honor the fallen..
