  1. Glad you're sorted m8...you wouldn't want to miss out on some of the screenies on here!
  2. I had to put the bloody heating on in Newcastle tonight!...This place is like Baywatch in Thermals!!
  3. He's a Norwegian citizen...possibly a home grown Nut-Job...Like that dude in the States a few years back. But talk about a 'soft' target...Norway is probably a Bombers dream come true!
  4. My Family are from Guernsey...I had the hottest summer holiday there when I was a kid
  5. Nothing surprises me anymore
  6. Might be worth clearing your internet Cache Wombat
  7. Finally got a chance to watch it Hellshade!...Just one word... EPIC!
  8. SOE had instructions to assasinate Hitler...in fact, two agents had him bang to rights in their scopes...but were not given permission to fire, in case someone who knew what they were doing, such as Rommel took the reigns!....Hitler was, in the end..the Architect of his own downfall
  9. Sorry LIMA...I was just having a little poke of fun...most of what is thought about the Italian Armed forces of WW2, was just propoganda anyhow. We often poke fun about the French Military too....but in both cases, can be proven historically innacurate....one only has to look at the Roman Legions, and the French Armies of Napoleon to discover the opposite is true!
  10. Don't knock it...it obviously works
  11. Another video for me to watch when I get home!..thanks m8
  12. Italian tanks had one forward gear...and eight reverse ones!
  13. Thank you Olham...Yes, a proud moment for all my family. Like most Soldiers, he never boasted about what he did, and was more interested in dicussing German Soldiers to me as a kid (possibly due to my interest in the German Army at the time)... "Well equipped, well disciplined, well trained, well supported....damn good soldiers...but above all...their helmet's made damn good piss-pots!" was one of his regular sayings to me! He wasn't 'quite' as complimentary about the Italian's or Japanese I have to say!
  14. No bloody speakers on this PC...Look forward to watching this when I get home
  15. Am old video..with a new twist!
  16. A sad evening in the mess...but let's get on with it chaps!...there's a War on!
  17. They can stick their Samurai Bushido code of Honour where the rising sun don't shine! Rant Over *Edited to avoid a ban*
  18. I wasn't pushing you to read that Olham...more the Archive itself..some amazing stories from all fronts of the War..and many different sides...a gem of Information to be had there
  19. And quite scary too I imagine! (where were the Bloody Luftwaffe when he needed them!) Yes, I imagine they were Carrier Borne
  20. Yes Olham...it was a 'replacement' for the Fairy Swordfish...though, thankfully for your Dad...not a very good one (maybe they had deposited their Torpedo's elsewhere..and thought they'd have a quick Strafe of your dad's ship on their way home?..I guess we'll never know) BTW...I can highly recommend having a look through the BBC's Archive which I posted on about my Father...there are some incredible stories on there, and it was a fantastic idea of the BBC's to start this project...So that stories like these can be accessed for future generations
  21. Havent had time to look into it yet Slarti...will let you know
