Greetings

Hi, Nice forum. I've been interested in WW2 aircraft since reading 'Paddy Payne' in the Lion comic. My late father was an air-gunner for RAF 214 Sqn 100 group (bomber support) and flew in a variety of aircraft. He was due to be deployed as part of 'Tiger Force'. Fortunately this wasn't necessary. I look forward to posting occasionally but mainly reading the posts from people better informed than myself.

Hi and welcome. Is the 'Lion' still going? I used to get that as a boy, and remember Paddy Payne well, and 'Battler Britain' !!
