I wouldn't resurrect the debate about whether the Dambusters Raids were worth the effort, but research appears to have shown that Sir Arthur Harris...
Lee Got back from holiday a few days ago so missed the change progress. The new look is fine; the old one was too similar to other WW2 sites....
Keith This is easier to understand if we remember that these are definitions that go back many centuries. The ranks of Lieutenant-General and...
We're going away on our holiday to Spain first thing tomorrow morning, back on 13th August. Kitty - hope the tamiflu works, or the chocolate if...
Hi Keith I hope your hand heals up well; it must be a nuisance only having the use of one hand in all sorts of ways, as well as model-making....

The last founder member of the RAF, the last survivor of Jutland or any naval operation in WW1, the last survivor of the RNAS, the last person to...
RIP Henry A man of dignity who deserves to be remembered for more than just his longevity. He never fired a shot in anger, but coming under...
Kyt Whatever it is, hope things work out well for you. Good Luck Adrian
Really glad you made it John! Make sure you have a good rest to recuperate; don't feel you have to get to the computer if it is stressful for you
This leaves just three surviving Victoria Cross holders from WW2 - John Cruickshank, Tulbuhadur Pun, and Lachiman Gurung. There are six holders from...
