Damn. I used to drink beer with some of these glider pilots down in Fort York Armoury. I'd ride in a Horsa, if there were any still flying... ONCE anyway...
How, "OH MASTER SUNRAY", did you know that the diagram I used was from a book on the very same Major's deeds the night of 5/6 Jun 44.

Lets see how good you are then, what language is said book published in?

I also had a beer or two with some of these above mentioned pilots at the very same place, at one or two, or three Mess Dinners over the years, which in itself, was a true honour, which sadly will be a thing of the past in the coming years, as time marches on and like true 'Old Soldiers', they slowly fade away......

Cheers
