By the way, the Aircraft in the BoB sequence in harbour had Eagle Sqn motifs on the side of the aircraft, is this authentic for that period?

Not sure if the Spit’s would have had “American Eagle Squadron” scrawled down the side in 1941, however the Hurricane featured was HAC’s MkXlla which previously wore 71 Sqn markings and retained them for filming.

But that would mean it would still be dark at 9am, so there’s no gain.

Depends what your present wife drives, possibly!

Flood.

Me mad !!!!! 😉

Well I have a Porsche, Chrysler Voyager and a 1992 Sierra 4×4, my sex drive is totally confused, do I have to multiply by one car and subtract the third to get my ratio ?

Yeah, but these topics are beyond wide ranging, don’t you think?

No these topics are in general good humoured and help to while away the time.

Every threads doesn’t have to be serious or factual, and as has been said before if you doen’t like the subject don’t read it, it’s as simple as that.

Doesn’t Manchester have one of those?

Not sure of the exact dates but from the various books on the subject I can fiind the following.

Bomber Command squadrons continued to use the Lancasters until 1953 and other RAF Lancs continued to serve until 1964 undertaking a variety of non-combat roles such as photographic reconnaissance duties in Africa.
