Re: Battle of Britain day
"""The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their prowess and b~ their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.“"

The Eagle pub in Cambridge has a RAF bar where airmen from the second world war wrote their names and squadrons on the ceiling using candles petrol lighters and lipsticks. It's still there today never been touched. God bless them.

"I though that this thread would be one to celebrate the pilots who fought in the War, not simply another platform for a particular poster to vent his loser's bile. How wrong I admit I was. Hip! Hip! Hurrah! to our aviators. Boooo! to insecure, intolerant friendless, entitled twats."

Re: Battle of Britain day
I went to The White Hart at Brasted a couple of years ago as it is the pub that the pilots stationed at Biggin Hill drank at during the BoB. It had a famous black board that all of the pilots signed. Apart from a facsimile copy of the board there was absolutely nothing in the pub that would have borne any resemblance to The White Hart in 1940. Any semblance of originality had been ripped out and it was a shit 'gastro' pub just like countless others around the country serving pizzas on slate plates.... sad!
