I got banned,well I applied to join the mil vehicles forum and was told I was a spammer and to go away!! All I wanted to do was point out the enormous amount of mil vehicle spares here in Thailand for willys jeeps etc.There loss!!

Well that brought back some memories,not all pleasant as someone who spent two years of his life there fixing Hunters!One of my 35mm slides actually appears amongst them!!Good one of the venoms (also 8sqdn)and the biplanes (?).Britain pulled out in 1967 ,not many servicemen shed tears over this.

The first game I played was put on my notebook by someone who new I was ex RAF!!It was called Overlord and was basically about typhoons destroying v1 sites in france and also trains!!Great fun ,wonder if it still exsists in a new form?

The musical “Buddy”is very good(if you were a fan ,I am 76 and certainly was!) I was quite emotional in the opening few minutes as were quite a few of the audience(same age group!)

Further south at Porto Alegre there is a small museum dedicated to Varig.Unfortunaly it was only open on weekdays and I was working weekdays!!I found that the sole airframe was a DC3.

“Berlin Noir”by Phillip Kerr.He has written a series of books about a Berlin detective(Bernie Gunther)that starts c1936 and ends up with his latest book set in Greece in 1957.Well researched and lots of good stuff leading up to and after WW2!
