    I’m not RC or religious, but I feel sad about the passing of this old man who’s been a part of the scene for sometime.

    He fought for his beliefs and also his country RIP Karol Wojtyla

    I’m a bit “off-thread” with this question and I apologise for digressing, but mention of the WWI cemetaries brought up a question I have often wondered.

    Were those cemetaries and other WWI memorials damaged in any way during WWII?

    I believe in general the cemetaries were relatively untouched by the effects of WW2, however some memorials were damaged or destroyed, mainly those in the centre of the towns fought over.

    Good luck to them, I hope that they’ll be happy together. I for one won’t be stopping up to watch the proceedings.

    Whether he’ll ever make it to be monarch and head of the CoE is open to debate, personally I reckon he will step aside and let his son take the throne when the time comes, probably the most honourable thing to do.

    It’s been a long time coming, he seems to have been fighting various ailments for sometime now. This looks like it’s his last days.

    Plus of course the cemeteries, always the cemeteries….. 🙁 Lest we forget.

    If you travel toward Dieppe and the Somme estuary, take time out to visit a few of the First World war cemeteries, and battle fields, I found these very sobering when we were there a couple of years ago.

    So is this true ?

    A P40 was tested against a Spitfire Mk1 early in the war, not sure of the outcome though. The testing was undertaken in Canada if I’m not mistaken.

    I would think that the Hurricane could out perform the P40 at altitude due to the better supercharger technology of the Merlin engine.

    Spot on Moggy, it had more to do with distracting from the Gov’t failings than anything to do with a genuine care for the foxes. I also read recently that it had more to do with getting even over the miners strike than anything else.
