  1. I was born in 1941, and lived about ten miles from the Spitfire factory, at Castle Bromwich, near Birmingham. At the age of 2 to 4, One of my earliest memories, is of sitting in my Pushchair, in the garden, and seeing , hearing, very noisey and fast planes, roaring over our house. With no other airfields nearby, these were without doubt, new Spitfires being tested, and /or flown, by those heroic ladies of the ATA.

  2.  @OldeJanner  WHO DID ? The Russians , by the millions, occupied the whole of eastern Europe at wars end, President Rooseveldt agreed to the border's, ( Churchill didn't )to save the war continuing ,and millions more lives lost AND the possibility of the A bomb being used in Europe. Tough decisions, no choices. Read your history.

  5. You can have the best detection system possible, but without top class fighter's to intercept the enemy, piloted by ''the Home Team'' the great defeat of the Luftwaffe ,would not have been possible. You cannot isolate any part of the whole, each depended on the other, it was a complete ''system''. Thanks to Hugh Dowding, and New Zealander .Sir Keith Park, who had been disgracefully neglected, these two great men, made it all possible.
