Default Yanks flying spitfires
Hi All

A good story out of WWII. I love the look on the old pilot's face when he views these old films.

Hope you enjoy the footage.

Cheers

Tony

Default My goodness..
Utterly magnificent Tony, thanks so much for posting..

There is something really special about these fellow's who have the most gentlemanly calm exterior and have been in some of the dangerous situations.

Wonderful stuff...

Hi Guys

I am glad I was able to share the story with you guys. I think it brings a more human touch to what otherwise would have been just another war story. It is always nice to see the actual guys tell their own story which in turn helps us understand what they went through.

Cheers

Tony
