Not always,it can get very entertaining on this forum with some subjects 😉
It has been fairly polite recently(almost boring ???):diablo:[/QUOTE]

Welcome to forum. As for what Bazv said, its probably because I havent been up to my usual tricks of putting my foot in it like I normally do. Enjoy the forum and I sometimes like to watch how long it takes for people to answer threads. Ive seen some really obscure questions answered in just a few minutes!!! All the best, Bex

I will admit to not being the cleverest person on the planet, however, as an amature I have been studying Military History since the age of 6 when my dad decided due to the Falklands he would start to tell me about what he did in places like Borneo & Northern Ireland. And now at the age of 32 Id consider myself to be quite a well informed amature Military Historian, and having proven a teacher wrong in the past (practising my 13 plus I answered a question my teacher couldnt mark so he failed me) I have no fear tackling a teacher when I know theyre wrong.

We can never forget nor underestimate the role these high spirited women had during WW2.A pity today that role models like that are usually not looked at in prestige.:( A different world..

Firstly I hope this wonderful lady now Rest’s in Peace, she deserves it. Its also interesting that QLDSpitty made the above comment, as my 8 yr old Step Daughter recently went to the IWM in London with her school and was given a test on her return to school. One question was this:

Did any women fly aeroplanes during WW2?

Answer choice: Yes or No

Now, thanks to me, my step daughter said Yes and as we all know this is the correct answer, however her muppet of a teacher marked this wrong and claims that the answer is No. No matter what I have said, this fool is of the attitude she is the teacher and she is correct.

Well if it wasnt for ladies like Phillapa Booth, this idiot wouldnt be able to enjoy the life she has.

Thanks I was sure I wasnt loosing me marbles just yet. All I can say is I could handle loosing 3 engines, but all 4? Stuff that, talk about brown trousers time, one brave crew on that BA flight. Bex

Les,

Thanks for the cracking shots of Malcoms baby, shes looking very good. The first 2 photos also have helped me with wing top markings (yellow lines to be exact) thanks again. Bex

thinking out loud

I wonder if the Forces Hospital petition result would be similar to the Headley Court petition? We can hope any else have any thoughts? Bex

Unbelievable 🙂

John & Dave,

Thanks for the links, I had no idea it had been done, I thought it was a job in progress hence my questions. Im gobsmacked and to be honest in awe of the job done on the Gazelle.

Radpoe Meteor, please forget my questions above, just please except a “virtual” pat on the back & hand shake for a cracking job. Bex

Mr Horowitz,

Sir, I have not been on the forum as long as your thread has been around, so Im glad it came back to the front page as it has given me a chance to read through it several times in the last 24 hours.

Before I go any further, I wish to express my sincere thanks for everything you and friends went through in order to bring an end to the horrific conflict that you found yourselves in.

I do have one question, and I hope from the bottom of my heart that I do not cause you any offence by it, if I do, then please say so and I will remove this following part:

With everything you and your friends sacrificed, how do you feel knowing that we still havent learned from those mistakes and we are still continuing to fight wars across the world?

Bex
