Guest flatfour Posted January 13, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Served us well during WWII and still running sweetly so many years later. I wonder if the youth of today aprecaiate the bravery of these airmen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ijporter Posted January 13, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 13, 2009 Great shot, but haven't we seen this one before? Perhaps it was just a very similar shot from someone else with the 'good eye'. Still, even if it is a 'repeat' it's worth seeing again! Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hiles Posted January 13, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 13, 2009 Oh dear - I have found I used it earlier. My apologies. No need - interesting picture. In my experience, there are some current youth who do appreciate the sacrifices made in earlier conflicts. Most youth I know are not patriots in the sense of King and Country, but they often understand that sometimes the only very reluctant recourse is to stand up and defend yourself. I once said to a Canadian General (slight friend) that Canadians (my home) are very proud of their military, and wish they didn't exist. He agreed.

elansprint72 Posted January 13, 2009 Share #6 Posted January 13, 2009 Both my kids (now 19 & 16) went on school trips to the WW1 battlefields, Menin Gate at dusk, etc. they came back as different people. Don't write them off just because of what you read in the Daily Mail/Telegraph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flatfour Posted January 14, 2009 Share #8 Posted January 14, 2009 Pete - I don't know why you have mentioned the Daily Mail and the Telegraph but you are right about today's kids realising what people fought for and how they suffered in the Second World War if they are given the chance to experience events. Some local kids were asked to write about war and then a few days later were taken to the museum at Tangmere - superb by the way - and they all tore up their earlier essays and re-wrote them. They were quite humbled the mistress said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
