Remembering the last raid on Nazi Germany

I’ve often tried to imagine how everyone would have felt knowing the war was over.

Well I was 7 when the war ended and I distinctly remember thinking that there would be no news broadcasts anymore because there would be nothing to report.

Probably one of the best feelings of relief and elation imaginable.

It also never ceases to blow me away that 22 year olds were turned loose with armed Mosquitoes.
Talk about a hot rod!!

Probably a different mindset,more used to working as a team,long distances and times as well.Fighter pilots i guess have to think short sharp aggressive.

I remember hearing an interview with, I think Kenneth Lee, Battle of Britain Pilot, who said that very few ex fighter pilots made good ’employees’ after the war……………easy to understand why.

But Bomber and Coastal pilots did seem to do pretty well with BOAC etc.
