Left the ??? out there...
Also, let's deal with the Spitfires memory of mine, shall we?
When I worked in Harley St. as I've said before, Douglas Bader was a patient of the Cardiologist I worked for. He was an incredible man, one to whom we owe a huge debt. Dr. Spurrell, his Cardiologist, had modelled his life on Bader's courage, after having seen 'Reach for the Sky' at the cinema when he was a young boy.
He grew up to fly Spitfires. Ended up buying one with some pals of his and they spent many happy hours stripping it all down and re-bulding it.
So yes, I'm afraid that Spitfires also are in my memory bank..and of course, my dear Dad was an RAF Navigator too.
In short, don't tell me what I can and can't think about my country or the memories that flow through every part of me.
Thank you.
