Hiya Spectre, since a very early age, I have been fascinated by the "Dambusters"...have been lucky enough to visit the Moehne dam on 2 occasions..once was during the "beast from the east" extreme cold weather conditions a few years back....made walking down the steps the far side of the dam a bit perilous, on route to Hull(ferry ) from Hereford we called in to visit "Just Jane"...in East kirkby airfield, (look it up) was also extremely lucky when of of friends had her aircraft invited to show at Goodwood revival and she gave me 2 tickets.. highlight of show (to me) was the fly past of City of Lincoln Lancaster, along with Vera the Canadian lanc, always amazes me how anything that ugly can be so beautiful in its own way....let's face it, the Lancaster was never going to win any beauty awards.:) oh and during the Goodwood visit, managed to fulfil a lifelong dream of sitting in a Mercedes gullwing sl...the proper one not the modern one, I unfortunately was not allowed near the Ferrari Daytona....very large persons standing guard :)
Anyway, enough rambling...
