RE: Please be honest.

I’ve been pretty slack and only found this thread today, so my apologies for the very late submission of this memo.

Australian, and fiercely proud of the fact. (I reckon I’ve made that pretty obvious in my various threads, and my name gives me away too)
50 last April. My father, who was British served with the Royal Navy (his MTB stuck a mine in the Channel and sank on D-day and my grandfather served with the AIF in New Guinea against the Japanese from 43-45. I have their service medals mounted and framed, hung on the wall above me as I type.

I think their experiences fostered a deep fascination with all things relating to World War 2, but at the age of 10, I discovered aeroplanes from that period and the interest has never waned. A true love affair over 40 years…
