^ FTB Photo of a scared up Spitfire. If you're on the LHR overnight and have the time head on over to the Imperial War Museum. The building was actually the Bethlem Royal Hospital, a psychiatric hospital that is also known as Bedlam. In the 1700s or so you could go for amusement and watch the inmates/patients run around inside the walled gardens, hence, it was Bedlam down there today.

Spitfire R 6915 was flown by pilots of 609 (West Riding) Squadron in the Defence of London during the whole of the Battle of Britain. Its eight .303 inch Browning guns destroyed five enemy raiders in aerial combat over the capital and surrounding areas, and probably destroyed five others. The aircraft was flown by thirteen different pilots during its operational service but was most frequently assigned to Pilot Officer Noel le C Agazarian, who was responsible for seven of this aircraft’s successful sorties.

Spitfire R 6915 was withdrawn from service in July 1941 and for the rest of the war was used primarily for training purposes. It was transferred from the Air Ministry to the Imperial War Museum in August 1946.

BTW, that Churchill, what a talker. He almost sounds like me when I'm giving my wife and daughter a pep talk in the mornings after I crawl out of bed and finally find them.

Churchill, 4 June 1940

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

Remember, DAL includes it's DCI oin those numbers....so it's not really apples to apples.

No wonder Neo sent the bust of Churchill back to the British. He didn't believe in non violent conflict resolution.

ATL 7ERB's
 

How often do 7ER B's reserves find themselves flying to Africa..?? Are domestic trips going to become more junior than the Africa flying?

I did three Accra trios in a row in may. just depends.

What is the worst/best place in Africa? I am guessing Lagos/ Dakar? I am only talking about ER flying.

On the fleet common CD, in the first security section, the cd asks for a security password can someone PM this password to me.

Dakar is not that bad lots of restaruants around that are pretty good.... and you get to sit by the pool alot and work on your tan!! surfing, and a few places to check out also

have not been to lagos don't hear good things though.....

personally I don't like ACC but have talked to a few people that go out to eat and they say a few restaruants are good....

ABV is new have been a few times but only one layover longer than 8 hrs... sat by the pool and worked on the tan!!

depends on what you are looking to get out of the trips!!

don't forget your pills and deet!!!

The directions in the envelope the CD came in tell you where it is - BTW its on the main screen on iCrew.
