    That aircraft again

    May be an old clip but my father worked on these in WWII as an LAC in the RAAF (I still have his Fitters manuals) and I am very fond of this aircraft. And honestly when things were really grim it was the brave pilots this aircraft and the Hurricane that stemmed the tide. Fighter command was on its knees when Britainicon bombed Berlin that's when Herr Goering changed from bombing the fighter airfields to the London blitz. My dad never said much of the war nor what it felt like to have his homeland bombed and all the privations placed on the populace. The war is long over and my dad a long time treading clouds but I remember his fondness of that plane. When we travel I try to get to a war museum that has one and we are very lucky in Perth Western Australiaicon to have one where you can get almost inside of one.
    This is the music I grew up with that accompanies the clip enjoy I did......
