| rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 23:25 on 5th July 2014 Thanks John. I'm a bit of a WWII navy fan. I started off very young with all Douglas Reemans books about the North Atlantic convoys and my interest progressed from there. I shouldn't be saying this to an air enthusiast but I've always prefered the sea. I applied to join the Navy but in the 70's women didn't go to sea so I ended up in the Police I'm back home tomorrow so I'll be back with a quizzy then |
