Nick your Grand pappy sounds like James Bond, I hope the rumours are true.
I have been having Spanish speaking lessons for a couple of years up to 2 years ago, my personal tutor was 85 years old ,still alive now, he was a gunner in a bomber,stationed at Silverstone air base for one. when we went off topic sometimes , the stories were riveting, those men were heroes, flying over Germany , in the spotlights,shrapnel bombs going off all around them,he said once they got back home and they counted over 80 holes in their plane :eek
He is an amazing bloke,, I could listen to him for ages,,sadly these heroes are disappearing,, I wish he would let me record his stories.
My mate who I go shooting with and drink with was in the sas, the stories he comes out with, well sometimes funny but still,they are brave men.i wish I was with him when they entered Saddams stash of gold and US dollars,,yes dollars, millions of them,,do you know what,,,they burnt them :eek .yep burnt them.
