There is a differrence. When warning shots are fired and you keep coming, it evolves into you getting shot at.

Having now seen the video do you still believe that those were warning shots, or the sort of casual weapon discharges that all soldiers take part in, purely for fun and amusement? – Nermal

Where’s he off to after this then?

The after dinner speaking circuit, as a Lenny Henry impersonator – Nermal

Used to be an RAF one, the cheatline is a give away. Could have been a flying test bed for the Rolls Royce RB211 with the registration G-AXLR, but don’t quote me on that.;) – Nermal

An old man once told me that British interests were attacked before Pearl Harbour, and because of the placing of the international date line it might even have been the day before. Any one confirm this? – Nermal

He did, but that isnt a Liberator (too few engines and the nose is too high – the Liberator was not a tail dragger. Maybe this isnt Churchill?). Maybe this was a visit that Churchill made to North Africa before it was received? – Nermal

Also, whilst I’m in research mode, I’m trying to find out how to go about searching for ex war photographers.

I have had an e-mail from someone who has identical copies of 2 photos on my website. On the back on the 2 photos is a red stamp which reads ‘Official Photographer No. 102’.

Surely there must be some record somewhere that details who this photographer was.

Could depend on the area/theatre of operations/service. – Nermal

No 104 titled “battleship St. Georgia?” is actually Graf Spee – a long way from N.Africa. The same photograph is on pages 70/71 of Odhams “The First Year of War in Pictures” showing the ship burning before sinking off Montivedeo on 17th December, 1940.

Roger Smith.

So as not to confuse the matter Graf Spee was scuttled in 1939 – Nermal
