You're Top Poster: #2   | An explanation I think this photo explains my extreme soft spot for low-level twin engined bombers/strafers/shipbusters etc. Can't really put my finger on it but this amazing photo comes pretty close: http://cas.awm.gov.au/photograph/128141

You're Top Poster: #3 | Great shot. Talk about Hiccup and end in the drink. Their bravery is clearly evident in that shot.

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?
