You're Top Poster: #2   | 92% for me. I reckon I fell down on questions like someone's wife at the time etc. Apparently, according to the rating for that score, I served with them in a past life. Lovely thought but I'm not of the calibre of these men!

You're Top Poster: #4  | Read it and weep boys! Your Score Is 100%! Good show, mate! Congratulations! You know your Dambusters! If I didn't know any better I'd believe that you might have served with them in a past life! And now to correct some of the answers. Nigger was NOT a Black Labrador, he was a black labrador mongrel. 56 men did NOT die ont he raid. At least one survived, possibly 2. (PS. Andy, Guy's wife was Eve.)
