Very nice, thank you. Reminds us all that WWII pilots didn't just fly the sexy Spitfire. They went out in Fairy Battles, Gannets and Lysanders, too and got shot to ribbons doing it for a country that forgot the lessons of preparedness learned in WWI.

 

We also seem to have been undersold In our air defence During the last decade or two. I can remember when we had an aircraft carrier and aeroplanes to put on it!

Yes, the Melbourne. It's replacement (to come from Britain via a sweetheart deal between Margaret Thatcher and Malcom Fraser) did not eventuate. It was diverted to the Falklands conflict. The Melbourne sure had a sorry history. I get the feeling that Argentina is still plotting a way to get the Falklands so I hope Britain is prepared!
