VE Day – 75 years on

[Danny M2ZParticipant @dannym2z]

I saw the Queen's VE Day speech today and found it very inspirational and uplifting.

This speech shall go down in the history books.

I grabbed a copy from YouTube Queen's VE Day Speech 2020 using this handy tool 4K Video Downloader

Cornish Jack, I already have researched my late father's service records. I agree it was disgraceful that their service to Britain was not recognised due to politics.

Time to move on

"Sadly there some individuals that are so bigoted that listening to what they say you could be forgiven for thinking that conflict had never ended."

For some it never did Brian.

Sheet metal shop manager was one of the construction "Gang" on the NBR and Never forgave the Japanese, and wasn't bigotry. Caused a bit of consternation when one of the lads was looking at buying a Yamaha Cornet, He was player in the Black Dyke Mills Band.

Regards Ian.

267 Sqdn Transport Command 1942, North Africa, aerodrome being strafed by Luftwaffe.

The young corporal Hancock ( my Dad ) tries to jump out of the slit trench with an extinguisher to put out a petrol bowser on fire. A big hand grabs his belt and pulls him back in the trench, " Let it burn, there's plenty of that". Closest he ever came to being a hero, he says.
