Keith;

Name the Cockpit please

Hmmmm Good one, Marko
Looks like a glider. Is it a Waco or a Hadrian?

"Release Point coming up, Major Howard!"

"Right! Prepare for landing!"

"Major Howard? There's the bridge coming up. Just on our left."

"Right! Link your arms! Brace yourselves..... feet up! Hang on!"

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......
