Jim Bowen 1 Posted August 22, 2014 I sold a book of the raffle tickets to a work mate because he really wanted the breitling watch prize. He didn't win and went out and bought one after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 22, 2014 Spitfires and the Lancs fly over my way a few times a year and the thrum of those merlin engines is a thing of beauty. I can only imagine what 100s of spities must have sounded like during WW2! Seeing / hearing them is an instant patriotism buzz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

16VG60 1 Posted August 25, 2014 Stealth, mmmmm not quite! :-) Vulcan was about as stealthy as a wagon full of monkeys! At the time of the Falklands war, when I was in the Army, there was a great cartoon in the Mess picturing a pair of Argies in their trench, their eyes fixed to the heavens watching a Vulcan overhead. One Argie says to the other " if that's the size of their aircraft, just how big is the carrier!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
