Title: Firework night tonight - modernn day D-Day
Post by: SJKOO01 on 06 November 2010, 19:52:16
Fireworks have been going off here since 6pm

Don't mind the big well lit fireworks, but there's been far too many real big bangers going off.

Anyone else feel like they're in part of a re-enactment of the WW2 anti-aircraft guns going off ?!.  :-/

Christmas has x12 days to it.  Otherwise the Xmas 12day song would be rather short, no french hens, doves, gold rings  :D  ::)  ;D

Apocalypse: World War II (in colour) just started on TV but SWMBO has kicked me out and into the study as she has a penchant for rubbish TV.

A few big bangs in that WWII programme I should imagine

Yes, I know, you are wondering what I am thinking!! :D :D

But seriously it was late one evening when a plane went across sounding just like a Dornier; a regular pulsating droning sound, which is exactly how they sounded in 1940!
Spookey or what, coming 70 years after the blitz started. :o :o

Well they're still having some of the old floating mines turning up on shore.
And you would of only need to worry Lizzie if the droning had stopped very close to you !!  ::)

If we're talking planes.  Some of the most evocative sounding planes for me are:

Spitfire
Mosquito
Lancaster
Vuncan
Harrier

I am not quite that old Mike!! :o :o ;D ;D ;)

It is memories though of what my father, mother and grandmother told me, from young, of the air battles and the following blitz, along with many other war time recollections ;)

In addition the reading of numerous historical books, and the watching of hundreds of documenteries has taught me the rest 8-) 8-)
