EWAN thanks so much for the note on Bodney
Ewan :
Well what a morning it is here in the USA……… the forces of good took down one evil man last night ……..NAVY SEALS much like your outstanding SAS took out some major evil last night and thanks for the note on Bodney … I am sure the spirits who reside there welcomed that unique sound of the Merlin soaring overhead of that patch of ground so special to many of us who know its history ! Haven’t been to Bodney since the early 90’s. I had hoped that the 352nd FG would try and restore the tower ..but guess the cost would be to great ! Nice to hear this pilot payed those who flew from there many years ago in tribute !!!! Hope all is well in your world Sir!! Wow what a weekend …..

My post from last years search !
Thanks forum members for the info & comments ….maybe I’ll soon get to add this to my Amiens collection………..with the right backing & director this is one heck of a story for a major film…no changes in the script are even necessary.
Thanks

Great site today over THe Mall !!!
Ok…from the colonies….. wonderful ceremony today..like millions of others from around the globe watched in full wonderfu HD…… so glad the RAF BBM flight was part of the ceremony….a real tribute to that generation that gave us all the freedom to watch this wedding. Your nation does pomp & ceremony like no other. What a great site to see & hear today as the BBM flight flew over the masses with those lovely Merlins humming along !!!! Wish they could have put up about 25 Spits & Hurricanes flying down from Duxford in a massive FLYPAST to salute the newly wed couple………. the bride looked stunning & all the best to them. I salute the prince for his service as well as his younger brother ! Great history made today… all the best to them !
A salute from BlueNoser352!
Great to see the care they recieve !
Wonderful to see the lovely care and attention these birds get…. nice that the RAF has a program to care and maintaiin these historical gifts to the nation . Not sure if the USAF or US Navy have such a program . They need to if they don’t ! Of course it would be required that all the P-51’s be painted in 352nd markings ! Great shots…thanks for sharing !

Amiens Prison Raid Movie
Some darn good suggestions here for sure….but what material is ready for some good director & writer to craft a great story on this amazing chapter of history from WW II ! No need to change anything history wise…just the tick of the clock on these French underground people about to be executed by the Germans ………… and the quick action of the RAF to come up with some amazing low level bombing tatics to free them from prison ! Having been there last summer and seeing the prison for myself up close ..what an amazing feat of airmen ship by the RAF!!
