    BBC Top Gear Vs The Germans Program

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Top-Gear-Challenges-Vol-3-DVD/dp/B001UHO0NK/ref=sr_1_4?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1284014829&sr=1-4

    Found this for sale on Amazon.co.uk but the number of programs listed say its all on one disc and is 30 minutes long??????????? That can’t be right ? Anyone have this disc yet ? Thanks for all the great replies to my original post…..Faulty Towers takes to the air…………….. still laughing at all the great bits here. One of the best concepts for a show to come out of the BBC in years. The one coming out in the USA will be hard pressed to match the quality and humor in this program. Darn Clever Television…………

    The Queen at Duxford:

    A friend reminded me that she & Prince Phillip greeted Col Robert Morgan & several US Eight Vets at Duxford back in 97 I believe ..Morgan the pilot of the one and only Memphis Belle..he was wearing his Pinks & Greens that day. I see she is coming to NYC to address the UN !..Very Nice I look forward to seeing her matching handbag & hat !

    Julian much thanks for the great info!

    Julian:

    BlueNoser352 says much thanks for the great travel info you sent me & others here before my trip. It was a big help and assisted me greatly ! Darn ..wish that lovely female guard you spoke of would have come out and greeted me….. I would have said Bonjour….” Lafayette We Are Here”! But she more than likely would have looked at me ..shrugged and walked away ! So it goes !!!!!!!!!!! Julian…. will add some of your books to my collection….
    Thanks again and hope all is well !

    BlueNoser352!

    PS… Good Luck to England in The World Cup !!!! US doing a bit better this time round..but still have a long way to go. Great players on all these countries teams !!!!

    A bit about this saying …………………… but of course we still like you guys…just a little in family disagreement !

    One Example of Natural Allies

    WE USUALLY ASSOCIATE General John J. Pershing with the phrase, “Lafayette, we are here!” Uttered in France on the Fourth of July eighty-three years ago, those words signaled the arrival of leading elements of the U.S. Army, newly engaged in the deadly struggle of the Allies against the Central Powers in the First World War. The meaning was clear: The United States had begun to pay its debt to France for that nation’s economic and military assistance well over a century earlier. Simply put, without French aid and armed intervention following the 1776 revolution, the American colonies would not have achieved independence from Britain. The United States owed France.

    LOL…Yes be yelled at by The prisoners at Amiens !

    BlueNoser352 reporting in as ordered FlyPast:

    Yes.. when I began to set up video camera and tripod to take pictures & video the duds in the cell windows began to yell at me & make all sorts of strange noises. Guess they are bored and need something constructive to do. Maybe like obeying the law so they wouldn’t be behind iron bars to start with might be the first thing I would recommend ! To bad I was not carrying my M-16 from days now gone past..would have enjoyed putting a nice burst up near the windows where they were yelling from ! That for sure would have put a stop to that mess. Several local residents stopped to see what I was doing and when I showed them my copy of AFTER THE BATTLE..them nodded their heads..thumbs up and smiled. My very limited French helped a bit..but I hope they had understanding as to why I came a long way to Amiens to see a place I had for years read about and we had discussed on the forum. A strange yet wonderful experience to one day be home here in my hometown and the next day be standing on French soil in Amiens after a long eight hour flight to Paris. The workers in the British War Cemetery were kind to show me the exact location of the final resting place of The Group Captain & his navigator. BlueNoser had a few words in private to these two men & offered a salute to them for their service in the fight to defeat the forces of evil that enslaved so many in WW II ! A real honor to finally make it to Amiens & see this site. For those who sent me emails with good travel advice & assistance..BlueNoser352 says thanks so much .This is a remarkable forum. The knowledge & information put here each day is a joy to read. Keep up the good works fellow FlyPast Forum members! Hope I can soon return to the UK…I hear Bodney calling my name .The BlueNoser’s from the 352nd are calling me to return !!!!! Have a good week forum members!

    A salute from BlueNoser352!
