Truly interesting,this is as all those brave hero's videos they should be showing in schools ,know matter the opinion of parents views on trying to forget the war, reasons why were free,all those brave souls (SHOULD ) not be forgotten.
Oh how i wish i could have just an ounce of this mans courage and fortitude. We owe a debt to these men that can never truly be paid in full. Inspiring to me but i would not be able to measure up to these truly astounding gentlemen.
These excellent men will always be true heros and I'm so glad to be able to listen to accounts like this while they are still around and always appreciate everything they did for us, the bravery of these men is unmatched
This is a fantastic interview. My great uncle was Flight Lieutenant James Pickering AFC who was also one of the first into Malta for the BoB. I am desperately seeking any footage/ interviews of him if you are able to help it would be hugely appreciated. He was reported to of flown over 80 different aircraft during his time as a pilot for the RAF he was from Hinckley in Leicestershire.
If only I could hear the interviewer, if there is a conversation both sides must be audible. Just a mild point. EDIT: fun option, turn om subtitles and read the interviewers questions
I really wish all these old WW2 Chaps got a bonus 50 years of middle age. It took too long to realise what we were losing. We lost far too much from the 60's onwards. I look back and want to weep.
