D day

[fazersharp]

Many times I hear people talking about their Granddad who was there, but somehow I feel a stronger direct connection as it was my Dad that was there, imp not that old its just that my parents had me when they were 40, my Mum also worked in the ammunitions factories and my Granddad also worked in the factories making  spitfires and when he was supposed to be on a brake he would knock up some household items on the lathes from aluminium that was destined for spitfires---- some of those very items now sit proudly in my dining room, like so many others my Dad never talked about it and was never interested in claiming his medals so when he died that is exactly what we did and they too sit framed along side those spitfire items.
