Hm, they'll bring it on for November 11th, that's my guess.

And thank you, I consider myself proud of being the SubSim forums only true Biggles!
Guess you're right Biggles. Watch out 11/11. Incidentally, i don't remember W.E. Johns writing a book called 'Biggles in the KriegsMarine'. Maybe you should get busy :rotfl:

@mookie, I do think there is something noble about fighting tyranny and opression, it's just that here in the UK, we tend to bang on about it a lot. I guess I'm uncomfortable with some of the accomanying attitudes. I'm embarrassed by the way some football fans taunt germans with chants about Hitler and that sort of thing. Yes we should remember the dead and be grateful for their sacrifice but there's just something about the way it is done in this country that makes me feel uncomfortable somehow.
