Never been there Andy but he was onboard HMS Thetis and rescued by motor launch. He was landed in Fance or Belgium(not sure witch) and ended up fighting in the trenches until wounded and invalided out with trench foot. He died on Christmas eve 1926 leaving a wife and seven children virtually destitute. That is all I know about him.
My other Grandfather lived with us until he died in 1966 and spent all his war with 13 pounders and he told me in graphic details about that war and all it horrors. I could write a book on it and the stupidity of British Officers that seemed happy to get themselves and their men killed. The over riding memories are about the mud and whole gun crews with their guns and horses being swallowed up in it.

Yes I rembered St Georges Day and thought about posting but a lot of significant dates seem to go over peoples heads these days. BTW my Paternal Grandfather was a Royal Marine at Zeebrugge and fortunately survived.

1st of July is the next date for me. My Maternal Grandfather was in the carnage of the Battle of the Somme, he was gassed but survived to fight on to the end. He was in the Royal Artillery. “The war to end all wars!”

Dear oh dear we can’t have a flyover the PC brigade would have kittens and drop a stitch while yoghurt knitting. We might upset the Germans or the poor woolley lambs in the fields nearby.

Knighthood or not. My thoughts are a gentleman of exceptional skill and courage in his profession and that should be his place in history.(hopefully with the state honour I think he fully deserves)

There are many other great pilots in WW1 and 2 some who made the ultimate sacrifice be they in fighters or bombers.Not forgetting those in civil aviation as well. So its horses for courses as far as I am concerned.

…surely they could have found some spare explosives in Iraq?

Well they could not find any weapons of mass destruction.

Anyway on to this creature that has been found guilty. I hope he gets a nice long term in jail considering the numbers of people who have been killed or injured in the reliance placed on this rubbish. I also hope all his assets, homes and boat are confiscated under the proceeds of crime act.
