    TOG, you genuinely *never* cease to amaze me. It just never, ever fails,
    does it?

    I swear, as the final spark of energy fizzles out in a heat-dead
    Universe many billions of years from now, a redneck accent will echo
    across the vast, empty nothingness. And it will say "Oh yeah? Well, if
    it wasn't for us buddy, you'd all be speaking German!".

    V1s and V2s between them killed about 9,000 people in London in 1944 and
    1945. Big deal - the Blitz killed about 43,000. Germany had already lost
    the war by the time the V2 was in operation. The V2 was a stupid weapon,
    anyway: each one cost as much as a bomber, and they weren't that accurate.
    The principal achievements of the V2 programme was to drain Germany's
    resources and hasten the end of the war, and to kick-start the US space and
    missile developments.

    Can I mention the Miles M.52 now?

    Uncannily close in context. Who know what Miss Rey of Kent was in the
    habit of wearing.

  9. Funny that; you would be referring to Aug/Sep 1940, I take it?

    Not many Americans on British soil then - a few, I admit, who joined in
    early and lent their weight to the fight against fascism ( and much
    credit to them). The whole 'week away' period you mean was handled quite
    well by the RAF and a certain ruthless bunch of cunts in charge.

    She was probably more fortunately attired than Mrs Ivy Millichamp of
    Orpington.

    Before you critisize someone,
    you should walk a mile in their shoes.
    That way, when you critisize them,
    you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

    Ahhh, that.
    We're getting used to it.

    At least the US went through the motions of investigating the
    incident.

    Ah, was that with the help of the cowardly French, no? If the French
    had never assisted you (or given you smelly cheese), you'd still be
    under control of the Queen.

  15. A few rockets, each delivering a tmere onne of HE. It was never going to
    be a war-winner without a nuke on the pointy end.

  16. 1944. And not very many of them. Are you seriously suggesting they'd
    have won the war? You're more ignorant than your posting name suggests.

  17. I don't think invasion as late as that would have worked. The really
    dangerous time was early June. The Government was ---> <--- tht close to
    making peace (Halifax's faction) and the RAF was in disarray. And there
    was nothing except a couple of old flintlocks in the armoury.

    A landing, even a small one, then might have been enough to make the
    Government throw out Churchill and sue for peace.
    Aren't the Septics making a film at the moment about how the US pilots
    won the Battle of Britain for us in 1940?

    Never mind, never mind. Shit, you obviously think bait is something
    always accompanied by the word 'jail'.

    Good innit? I'll just kill the thread and bugger off to work for the

    That would be when airmen from European countries that had been
    invaded, Commonwealth countries and a few renegade Americans (who
    ignored their governments blatant cowardice) piled in to assist and
    I'd never criticise any of them for their sacrifices.
