Again, I'll ask about the overall wartime contribution of someone
clearly not on the pointy end, Constance Babington-Smith. If her name
is unfamiliar, that should be corrected. Or on the very very pointy
end, Noor Inayat Khan or Virgina Hall or Sydney Cotton. Or back at
the ranch, Kelly Johnsom and Barnes Wallis.

And I *do* wonder how much chance Art would have stood without, for
example, the erks who maintained those noisy fan thingies hanging
from Willie's wings ...


I love the guys that maintained the noisy fan thingies that hung from Willies
wings.
But we went to war. They didn'lt. They were all great, everyone of them. We
couldn't have done without them. But they were not of the band of brothers.
Band of Brothers in the original Henry V context as well as the 101st AB meant
those who fought the enemy. No one else is included.
And that means you.

There were quite a number of RAF erks, particularly at Manston, who
would disagree with you.

But they can't. They died around the aircraft they were servicing.

Did Stansted get raided much?
