John, Nick

between you & me you're probably right & I'm certainly with you 100% on Harris... but I'm interested in the other side's views too though, especially as Prien & Roba (to take two examples) haven't been translated and their views haven't rippled into our collective consciousness (or even that of the average enthusiasts). We've all grown up a bit since histories like 'The Narrow Margin' were published. The 'mythology' of the BoB has probably gone too far; I think even Bungay acknowledges that; there was no 'narrow margin', it wasn't even close...that's all I'm pointing out..
