A ‘little ship’ (HSL) saved my grandfather’s life. 27th August 1942 he was flying in his Spitfire MKVb from RAF Hornchurch on an air sea rescue patrol and then got bounced by a gaggle of FW190s. He got shot down and suffered a major wound to his leg caused by a 20mm canon shell from the FW190. He managed to bail out over the channel and the bastard shot at him again whilst he was parachuting down and he was hit by three bullets in his back. He also broke his other uninjured leg and arm when he hit the water. Luckily he landed in the sea next to an HSL which had spotted him and they managed to get him out the water and give him medical attention immediately which no doubt saved his life. He was in hospital for two years after this and had to learn to walk again. He never flew again sadly but he passed away in 1999 and lived a great life and had 3 boys and 5 grandchildren, me being one. So I owe my existence to him pulling through but also the crew of a little ship who saved his life. They were very brave men and true heroes. My grandfather in early 1945 received a letter from the wife of one of the crew asking for a spare of my grandfathers wings for her little girl. Sadly her husband had been killed and she wanted to give the wings to her daughter to show her that these belonged to the man her daddy saved. Tragic and sobering 😢
@@AbdulBasit-ms4op Sir please present evidence of your accusations, before saying anything . Secondly our team loses at every important match so we cannot say they are fixed . Also a sport cannot always be about a few old posh people using applause and saying good work lad , sportsperson need money to survive and ipl , bcci just provides that nothing more.
Evidence is opposite team's body language always, when bcci fixes match, opposite team loses their motivation so badly we saw in all the matches of world 2023
@@AbdulBasit-ms4op this just some pieces of unbelievable assumption which has been made by your brain , if what you are saying is true then that India should have won the world cup
Uncovered pitches back then, a real test of a batsman's (not batter) technique; modern batsmen wouldn't have a clue how to play on them, with the moronic Disneyfied cricket tripe that's served up now. Some things never change though - England thrashed by the Aussies - again!
