Re: Fighter pilots' guts
Yves your last post has been considerably altered after my message was posted, the two actions could have coincided (see my posting time, and your original time and edit time).
Never-the-less I reacted to a much simpler message as posted at 08:10, not the one after editing at 08:23.
Some of that edited material seems actually to be an answer to my reply, so that will confuse people even more.
BTW, my personal views on the UK, France or even the 2nd Iraq war are irrelevant when it comes to this discussion. Actually I am simply waiting for that copy of Years of Command to arrive so I can double check Sholto Douglas.
IF Sholto Douglas is the originator, that will release Townsend, since quoting an AVM RAF who'd actually been on the spot won't be regarded as a faux pas, not even if the message is one we don't like.
