Saving Private Ryan was an American experience and was an outstanding film, difficult to find fault with and a film I thoroughly enjoy. The Battle of Britain is perhaps a little more, immediate isn’t the right word, for those of us in the UK. And for those of us who are of a certain age it depicted in the best way it possibly could an event which shaped the rest of the war. We have parents and grandparents who were pilots, erks, Home Guard, we saw the veterans at airshows, some among us have been fortunate to meet some of them. Maybe it’s nostalgia but we all know countryside like we see in the film, that same kind of country pub, and of course Duxford. And that is what it was all about. Stopping Hitler and preserving a Nation. We may have screwed things up a bit since then but some of us still realise how big a part the Battle of Britain played in ensuring we had that chance.

I’ve just worked it out, it’s a plot! Fiendishly clever too! R. Weaver (Safe Legal Flying) might not be a 16 year old tyro. He could be a crusty old Captain with so many thousands of hours to his credit he drags his log books around in an ASDA trolley. Having flown a Spitfire on the first thousand bomber raid he was a Captain on Boeing 707’s even before the jet engine was invented. There is a rumour that he was Pontious Pilate’s Private Pilot (Alliteration, Robert, check the dictionary)
So, it’s all been a con, he’s been having us on all along.
Just noticaed that an anagram of R. Weaver is we averr. Averr meaning to state firmly – the truth. See?Everything he says must be right.

I think many of the survivors were built too late for active service during the war. There are some ‘Warbirds’ flying that actually do have a combat history. Many of them are rebuilds using little of the original aircraft which causes some consternation to the purists as to whether they are genuine or replicas.

Arthur, perhaps he’s applying for lunatic asylum?

Oh, Robert, please let me reply to your posts, you are so funny.
By the way, there are three L’s in Walsall and two T’s in pratt. Always happy to help with your education. You do realise Steve called you an ‘obnoxious little sh1te’ don’t you? And you thanked him. You must be really pleased that I called you an *rsehole.

Perhaps he works for the Inland Revenue? 😉

If it wasn’t so bloody tragic it would be hilarious. The word is Touche with an accent over the final ‘e’.

And for your info I have no money hidden or anything form the Inland Revenue.
If he told you how he knew, you would be as clever as him and that’s just not going to happen is it?

I have no desire to be a pilot. The fact that you may have achieved the required standards does not mean that you have the correct attitude and it is your attitude that is your biggest problem. You can’t even insult me in comprehensible English can you? I do not need to try the ‘WANNABE’ forum for anything. I am who I am and who I am needs no excuses….. You wouldn’t follow that though would you?
Never mind, you continue to play in your merry old tin pot way and somewhere down the line you will learn how to portray yourself. Hope in the RAF interview you didn’t tell them you wouldn’t be joining if you managed to obtain a pass for your medical. The RAF needs people who want to join, not those who are choosing it as an escape route for their deficencies.
Talk about me drinking? (I don’t by the way) Have you bought your bottle of wine so you can ‘take advantage’ of your lady? Read what you have written and see just how perverse it sounds.
I will reply to any post I wish to. You, of course, can use your ignore facility.
