  1.  @Steve-cc6xc  'A great Dark Skies video' is an oxymoron. The maker just wants to push as much content out to the undiscerning as possible. His narratives bundles in all kinds of mixed up tosh.

  2.  @theoriginaldylangreene  If that's a reference to the shot at 5.50, I thought it was a Top Hat (Homburgs have less loft & far more brim) But then That chap's flying a bloody Hurricane not a Henley .......... And you're quibbling about hats ?

  3.  @theoriginaldylangreene  Stone me ! There must be nearly as many variants of the Homburg as the Hurricane. I almost suspect you'll be telling us next that later versions had cannon too. (Which would be quite a useful supplement in some arenas of course).

  4. Addendum - Dylan Greene has since clarified this is in fact a variant of the Homburg. (Raising question why is the gentleman pilot in the Hurricane at 5.48 etc)..

  6. In the years leading upto and into the first phase of WW2 Dowding, Parkes and arguably Douglas were the only visionaries and trully capable leaders. The main motivator for most of the RAF 'Brass' and especially Bomber Command was to stay on the gravy train by keeping the RAF distinctive in its role. They feared if the worked closely with the Army or Navy the RAF would devolve back into the RFC & NAS. As that overlaid pigheaded dogmatism it was a sucidally lethal mix.
