Thanks for the compliment, Rob.

I saw from your profile that you are interested in the Battle of Britain. Did you know that some british pilots who had taken part in that battle and were later posted to Malta said "compared to this the Battle of Britain was a picnic!" Their words not mine.

Well, after the War most people here preferred to forget it and get on with their lives. I call it Collective Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The politicians had their agendas, and did nothing to preserve anything connected to the war.

In fact it was only in the seventies that a group of enthusiasts set up the National War Museum.

Lucky there are 'crazy' people like us around!
