D-Day’s Unhappiest Man. Amongst the horror, there is humour. Made me smile.

Sending a Lancaster, two Spits and a Dakota to Normandy on Friday seems far more appropriate……

According to the BBC, the B52 deployment is in connection with D-Day commemorations.

Cy Grant was someone else I was trying to think off. Passed away a few years ago.

……and as the BBMF Dakota is at Cosford, D-Day anniversary, this would seem to be appropriate.

Interesting programme on 617 Sq. But I think they tried to put a bit too much in and it seemed a bit rushed. Still good to see this on mainstream TV. And hopefully more people know about E-Easy now!
Winkle Brown programme details here. hopefully lead to his Knighthood!

Nice idea. But the Government, if it had any sense or money, should order the Boeing P8 Poseidon for the ASW and MPA role.

Well spotted creaking door! A quick Google and the design does seem to match up. I hadn’t thought of a Soviet dam. In any case, the EBay description was wrong.
