Did BST ever have a pub named after himself?

My take on the film is very similar to PanzerJohn’s. I’ve seen it a couple of times. It was a critical failure and has gained a bit of a cult following. I agree it is somewhat split between the archive and contemporary narratives and loses out overall..with a lack of direction and a rather sudden end. Certainly worth watching though.

My father was the last Air Engineering Officer of 728 NAS at HalFar and took the salute at the hauling down of the last White Ensign when the Air Station closed. At the time of disbandment they had Meteor T7s and TT20s on strength. Their task was target towing, as the Mediterranean FRU (Fleet Requirements Unit) and over the years flew many miscellaneous aircraft. I have a couple of snaps of the TT20’s taken on the occasion of a farewell flypast they carried out with some Sea Vixens and Buccaneers from HMS Hermes which was on a visit to Malta. I’ll post the snaps soon. I’m sure you’ll get more detailed info from the experts on the site.

I’m also the proud owner of a Battle of Britain tie, given to me by Sgt Len Bowman, who flew as a Defiant air gunner with 141 Sqdn, survived the Battle and went on to fly in Liberators. His father was Geoffrey Hilton “Beery” Bowman who, as a Major in the RFC in WW1, scored 32 victories, the majority while flying SE5’s with 56 Sqdn.

An impressive record of service.

Some more WW2 originals….my father, and a bunch of his buddies on 1831 FAA Squadron, Pacific Fleet, and landing on HMS Glory, plus a slightly bent bent-wing bird.
…….and a bit of background.

Enjoyable documentary with fascinating views of the Zeppelin.

To my eyes,the sections of film showing the dropping of the the water ballast showed US Navy personnel, and were not part of the original film made on the journey, just handy cut-ins.

Thank you for all you did for us, and let us cherish every one of the diminishing Few.
