Bomber Command to be honoured..........at last

Postby expat » Sun Oct 19, 2008 12:33 am

This should please Charlie. At long last Bomber Command is to be honoured with a memorial.............all be it paid for with private funds ::), however something at last.

Memorial

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

That says it all I'm afraid. This is purely my personal opinion but without official government recognition I'm not sure it means very much. Far too late for that anyway.

Unlikely with our PC nanny state too, but then we are getting into forbidden territory :-X

Any memorial, however funded, is truly deserved.

Great news, and well done too RG for having the balls to forget his celebrity reputation to lay his support for the project. :)
