Quoted from GYinScuntland

I was more on the lines of the heroes from the locality.


But heroes from Lincs served in all branches of the armed forces and merchant marine. If it's about celebrating local heroes they might just as well do a thing for L Detachment*, or the Grenadier Guards, or the Lincs Regiment or Paras, or RN or Merchant Navy, RN Reserve.

* at least two founder members were Lincs lads - 'Gentleman Jim' Almond and that trawlerman from GY whose name escapes me at the moment


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from Mallyner


My mates Dad was a Polish aircrew and flew lots of missions but he wasn't a bommer, he had 4 Kids.  


Did he ever come under attack from the German Fokkers ?  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

What part of Bomber County don't you understand?
The original post was about the air raid siren which is in deference to the Dambusters based at Scampton, I was replying to the poster who said the bomber squadrons weren't bombed themselves.

The Dambusters stayed at the Petwood hotel in Woodhall though  .


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

I think I should complain to the FA because as someone who has served in Iraq, we had the air raid siren going off several times a day, every day for months on end due to mortars being fired at us. Thanks for inflaming my PTSD Lincoln you inconsiderate twits.

I flipping understand what Bomber County means. It's your comment that I was challenging: this one, 'I love their nod to the local heroes who flew from Scampton and all other RAF bases across Britain.' There might have been loads of bomber bases in Lincs but that doesn't mean Bomber Command was full of Yellowbellies.

We treat our war veterans like excrement in this country, only a complete mug would join the army today.

Blimey, that's a bit sweary.
I never even suggested Bomber Command was full of Yellowbellies, you've even quoted my line "Scampton and all other RAF bases across Britain" so I'm a bit confused as to your actual beef about this.

Only on here could a post about ww2 heroes turn into an argument.
