Glad to see you made it Les! There is a great WWI area here as well, however it is also a nice change to discuss some of the other issues pre and post 1939.

I have no idea why they are holding back my commission cheque - guess that means I have to spot you at the pub when you get here. Probably the exchange rates are messing up the administrators!!

Grandson Michael is here already but I haven't seen the rest of the group - just a small batch to start, we don't want to overwhelm them. We might not hear much from Michael to start as he is off for attention to his blighty. He might be the only Dutchman signed up - not sure.

I am a Navy brat so I look forward to hearing about being an air force brat. I think my parents wanted to be Air-force as after the war they both became pilots. I tried as well, finished ground school and about half the flights before I was told that they had to do surgery on my inner ear if I wanted to continue. That ended that plan.

I assume that is your Dad in the avatar? Mine is my mom, since I look like my dad's twin and I am trying to mislead any assassins.
