I think the man or woman who started this post must be wondering what sort of asylum they have wandered into! I feel that an apology is in order for some of the posts that are here. I hope that those that can genuinely help have PM’d the “Producer” to that effect. My Father was in Bomber Command from 1941-1945 and I had my first flight in a Halifax in May 1945 with my mother(unfortunately I don’t remember it!) I have had a keen interest in aircraft ever since. I should imagine that over 50% of them I left before they landed though.
As for the light this documentory is painted in I don’t know and don’t much care. The rivet counters on here will find fault anyway whatever is produced.
As for other remarks I was a Soldier during the “troubles”(can’t have a war with your own population) and my regiment has been portrayed in the worst light imaginable,most of us just laugh and get over it. I don’t think it is likely to happen in this case(unless LAC Mandela wanders up to the Station Commander and says “hey dude want to score some smack?) in which case I will publicly eat my words.
Ridiculous post maybe but no worse than some of the rubbish that has been posted so far! So perhaps the “grammer nazi’s” would like to correct my English and spelling as it seems to be an integral part of this thread about Bomber Command.
Remember Men and Women are paying the ultimate price or coming back fror war mutilated who would laugh at the “wizard prang” and “right oh old chap” language but they would not laugh at their sacrifice and courage.
I have been shot at ,petrol bombed, stoned, spat at and worse so If any keyboard warrior wants to take issue with what I have said come on then I will not lose any sleep over it!
