    would of liked them to do a series on the British paratroopers in WW2, didnt Stephen E Ambrose do a book on PEGASUS BRIDGE?

    The band of brothers book was very well covered in the series so their probably wont be another series.

    Pegasus Bridge is a fairly slim volume so would only take up maybe two episodes.

    D-Day and Citizen Soldiers would make a couple of series with a cast of thousands.

    Wild Blue is again a fairly slim volume.

    All the books are a very good read that i could not put down. After reading Band of Brothers i had to buy the rest of them.

    p.s. his book about Custers last stand is facinating.

    😀 😎 😉

    if anybody hasent read the books they are all snippets of interviews and letters etc of the people who were actualy there doing the fighting and as you would expect from eyewitness accounts they are very graphical.

    personaly i dont think we will get rid of that attitude until ww2 is out of living memory. My grandad refused to buy anything German or Japanesse using a string of expletives when he read the made in sticker/label. Maybe in 50 years time the “hun” attitude will be gone or perhaps ww3 will blow up in our faces.

    going by the state of things yesterday there will be nothing left of the old airfield in a couple of years. Fingers crossed that she can be moved and not scrapped.

    Does the lightning assosiation have its own web site? is it a closed club or can anyone join?

    My point was, however, I KNOW several thousand pictures were taken – I heard several hundred shutters go off while I was taking my own pictures.

    My shutter could have been one of them unfortunately the film got exposed to light and the camera went in a bin in several pieces. **** happens:D
