Thought all of them would have passed years ago.  Read a Mark Felton book about a similar mission years prior about the raf trying to precision bomb a bridge.  Guy Gibson was involved in that too.  Those guys had balls of steel and we owe them a debt.

 

But if I’m in earshot of someone over 50 and gammony looking then he and his ilk were all war criminals and should have stood trial at The Hague.
