Don’t rely too heavily on the ‘common purpose’ propaganda that has since become embedded in the Home Front legend.

The Eastenders famously booed and heckled the royal family, the miners tried to hold the country to ransom with a series of strikes for better pay.

Make no mistake. If a new Hitler were camped on Cap Gris Nez today the Daily Mail would be full of pictures of heroic muslims with hijabs and burqa staring out over the straights of Dover with an SLR in hand.

Providing the right risk assessments had been done and full protective clothing was worn (ear mufflers because the gun is to loud ! eye protection in case i get grass in my eye !) and of course don’t forget the solicitors would have to giver their permission too

Bring back the Old Biggin Hill Airshow ,it was allways packed to the limits WHY stop such a very very popular Event ,this is just a low key event .

Its not really an air show its a musical tribute to the few, i was going but am wheelchair bound after an accident so stuffed in getting there and would need pushing around anyway

alohha -There are probably numerous different shades of grey ! -fifty maybe!

I wondered how long it would be :rolleyes: i suppose some would say she is quite a stunning looker and ripe for playing with !!

silly question this may seem but why are some spitfires painted lighter grey than others, i understand the silver, blue, pink and green & brown style but not the shades of grey ?

I think in the late 90’s (could be wrong usually are !) there was a formation of Blenheim, Gladiator and 2 Lysanders at Duxford
