Like most postings here, its Dad’s fault! He was a 13 year old lad in the Battle of Britain and lived on Romney Marsh and witnised the fighting going on overhead. I grew up with his stories, then one day the filming started and once again he was watching HE111’s, ME109’s (Buchons) Spitfires and Hurricane’s overhead (plus a B25 & the odd Helicopter) but with me at his side! we watched the filming for weeks and eventually saw the film.
I read all of Dad’s books and made all the Airfix kits, eventually learning to fly and still take Dad up for a ‘jolly’.
I sail as well & own a 25ft Sailing boat, christ knows where that passion came from……… :rolleyes:
