    My first guess is that it is possibly a Battle, Dinant is a town in the Walloon region of Belgium.

    Are these anything to do with the BAPC?

    Is that the Bedford Andy’s Preservation Club ?

    Flippin eck, you go away for a quiet Christmas and what happens, some sad old fool from Liver(f”king)fool picks on you. I need a drink but have to wait until after 5pm.

    Obviously he is IT literate, because anyone with any gumption would have done a search on EN830 on the intraweb, and got all the answers that he requires.

    It must be very cosy to be hidden away on an obscure little island with your cows and attack, as you are me, someone who has done something the likes of which will only happen to you in your dreams, and as a consequence, make you feel both inadeqaute and resentful.

    He would also then know how far my respect for those who “have done things”, in his words, likes of which will only happen to me in my dreams, goes, and to what lengths I have gone to remember them on this cosy and not so obscure island that I live on.

    I’m sure in Ken’s world, his minor role in the bigger picture was significant in bringing down the axis powers. However after reading his story I feel neither inadequate nor resentful of his role as a medic, either fixing Russians with appendicitis, his time with Karl Schneider the supposed U-Boat commander (no evidence), dodging Doodlebugs or fighting off Chinese pirates, none of which makes me wish to have had his life.

    One final thing that stuffed cow, looks nothing like a Jersey, more like a Frisian and a Crapaud is Jersey French for a Toad, something else that looks nothing like a cow. http://www.1001cartes.com/perso/images_perso/crapaud.jpg

    Mad I tell you, Mad !!!! I wash my hands of the idiot, feel free to have open season.

    Are those original, substantially restored original, reproduction, replica or new build pigs?

    Obviously to gain the correct CAA certification these pigs will have to contain a certain amount of new build material, and I have it on good authority that these are methane powered Hampden pigs which are 89% pork, and equipped with the optional extra, water, salt, sodium phosphate, sodium nitrate , sodium erythorbate and sugar injection booster pack.

    I promise to be more tolerant to my fellow aviation enthusiast, to respect their views however mundane or inaccurate they are, I will not take the p!ss even though in my view that person maybe an imbecile, and I will make the up most effort to keep these views to myself and not vent on this forum, even though it may irritate the crap out of me not to do so. I also promise to cut the sarcasm in my posts and threads.

    All of the above will be void, if, come January some mindless moron asks what we are looking forward to in the up and coming season, and whether we have a wish list for Legends, this also applies to the “Which is better than which threads” which prevail on Modern Military and at time filter on to Historic.

    Other than this, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and safe 2007, and ask do you think 2007 will be better than 2006, and what Legends do you wish for?

    Last Whirlwinds were withdrawn in late 1943, this maybe the 137 Sqn aircraft that was reputedly put back into the air by the Luftwaffe.

    If was taken at St Nazaire, which is Brittany, then this would more than likely be a 263 Sqn unit machine, as this was their main area of operation.

    Well, as some parts of the globe are, at this moment, waking up to Christmas Morning, I think it’s my duty to say:-

    A very merry festive season to one and all, except Snapper, he beats goats 😉

    OK Mr Williams lets see, I have restored a link to your website on Wikipedia, now check the IP address and then I will await your apology in full for accusing me of removing it in the first place.

    Up until your accusation, I was unaware of this link.

    Whaaaaaaaaaaay!

    He’s pasted-in Neil Dudgeon’s picture now 😀

    Moggy

    No, that’s been removed and a rather unflattering picture of someone in leg braces has been placed in its place.

    Funnily enough my late father spent 5 years of the war with the best part of 30 thousand German troops, comes of living in an occupied territory. His one act of defiance was to throw a rotten tomato at a Jerrybag. Unfortunately he missed and hit her German escort square in the nap of the neck. To his dying day he could still here the sound of that German’s boots on the cobbles as him and his mate were chased up the street.
