Partly why I'm in the Air Cadets now as I'm quite passionate about aircraft and militaria.  Not sure why I keep being asked if I'm a fan of something, but there we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a flag shagger but just because of where I live the RAF plays a pretty big role in my daily life. My nieces kids go to a school named after a second world war pilot who got a VC, the estate my nephew lives on, all the roads are named after Bomber Command VC recipient's. I have friends who are in the RAF, and I have friends who work at RAF Conningsby where the accident happened. So my laughter on one of the BBMF crashing is generally not that forthcoming. Edited May 26 by Lion_of_the_Midlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An RAF pilot listed in a celebrity death thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus this thread is about celebrity deaths. And the RIP Sir sign off reminded me of pricks when Captain Tom died.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep stalking though Replying to someone is stalking? Are you sure you aren’t pat tldr? You didn’t even name the guy who died, or even link to the story. It’s the equivalent of “Someone died in a car crash near me” in a Celebrity death thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to undermine your grief or how you feel, but that's a bit unfair IMO. Everyone's feelings are relative to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
