80 years ago: Lest We Forget

[Bally002]

80 years ago this summer, it seemed a sure bet that Hitler and his gang would win the war in Europe.

By the end of summer of 1940, the issue was no longer so clear.

The pilots of the Royal Air Force had successfully defended Great Britain from German attacks.

In hindsight, it is easy to think it was all inevitable. 

Except it wasn't.  British resolve and courage in that summer changed the course of world history.

All glory to the Royal Air Force, and, thanks to the United Kingdom.

Cheers!

And cheers back to you 5th.  My Father was RAAF during the Darwin years as an armourer and my Uncle went over to England and flew Lancasters.

Nice to remember them.
