You're Top Poster: #1   | RAF Beach Units A very little known about part of the RAF who played a vital part in Normandy. As the site introduction states: Quote:

You're Top Poster: #3  | I knew they had these people on the beach however I did not realise they were separate sections.

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #1 | It just highlights how complex the organisation of the landings was - and yet every little detail seems to have been worked out. It's just a shame that so many of these small units in the RAF, and Army, have been forgotten.
