Wasn,t the one in June the one that did a victory roll over the very british Airfield then land thinking he had crossed the channel into France.Can,t remember specifics but I can remember he was pretty shocked to be bailed up by a chap in RAF colours with a revolver.

Hmm is it part of the luna landing set???It does look sorta Cr42ish or Glad.Could be part of a PBY fuse??

Wow now thats a moment to treasure.

Yes it was more than a quick grab at a few fortresses.The whole thing except for the evacuation would have been described as a bloody shambles.Mistakes were made and countless souls lost their lives for it.It is past now and hopefully the lessons learned there have not been repeated…much.Not having a go at you Brits for your leadership,for Australian incompetance read up on the Gonna Mission attacks in PNG.How many WW1 planes are left these days,including replicas??

Well Pete,Tigers in the Mud is a biography of Otto Carius and his time in combat in a Tiger tank during WW2.Damn good read and wish I had the book.Well my fiance is in charge of the finances so good luck in asking her about how much she is worth.. :diablo: ..JDK,good to hear about Tolga Ornek receiving an award from Australia.Turkey is pretty much a brother country now to us due to the effort and sincerity they have shown us Australians each ANZAC day at Gallipoli.Gotta remember they share the same sorrow as tens of thousands of them were lost defending their country against the efforts to grab a few fortresses along the coast.And for Maori courage you can,t go past Monte Casino… 😉 I will go and see Flyboys and make up my mind after I have seen it. 😎

As Rommel was rumoured to have said at Tobruk….” give me a Platoon of Australians ,and I,ll take over the world..” :diablo: ……for all time,remember Gallipoli we will.
