yes but a lot of decoding /secret stuff going on in the back ground - Bletchley park etc which could have helped

It's a wonder any survived, although a lot did die too.....my dad told me that they lived near an airfield near York....and they used to count them out and when they came back, many didn't, he was sent to India in 1942
must have been so scary in the cities especially London

Not sure, but I guess they must've done. All the dock areas (there were then) around here

Iâll not bother buying one then
Baz posted:Awwww
I'm guessing the German pilot only had 5 hours flying experience and couldn't work out a radar

They look nice though. I was thinking of getting a box when they come on offer
What kind did you have?

Was looking at a book of war pics from down here, they bombed the road next to ours, heaven knows why, think they were just ditching the ammo
