with eyesight that bad it's amazing he managed to shoot straight enough to conceive you...
but of course you should be proud of him, even if he did bat for the other side, he's still your dad...

Ha bloody Ha.
Your timing is out because Manchester 3s later called Lancasters, did not fly until long after the battles of summer 1940. I wouldn't blame him for jacking it in when Leigh Mallory took over after the Battle and sacrificed many pilots over france to boost his ego, planes and pilots sorely needed to defend Singapore, Leigh Mallory and his side kick Bader deserved the Iron cross, 1st class with diamonds to the oak leaves.
That Sir Keith Park and Hugh Dowding won the Battle of Britain despite Leigh Mallory was the miracle.

Yes - just try to forget about the 2 Spitfires etc. and tell everyone that it was a load of big Fokker's.

why are you even asking this? Of course you should! My Uncle was a paratrooper -and at 47 he was still jumping out of areoplanes, as he loved his job. The younger lads in his unit used to call him Rambo with Wrinkles

Too bad one more and he would have become a Nazi ace. So be glad your grand dad was brave enough to fight while blind as a bat at least you know he's got guts!

He is your dad, and he did try hard, and anyway if he hadn't somebody else would have, I bet he was not the only one. My dad was an army cook, bet he killed more people than the bloke with the moustache
