I know just what you mean seasider. The last time I saw the Battle of Britain Flight, a few weeks back, I felt the same. I don't know if it's a getting older thing, but it made me think of how close we came to being invaded back then, and how much we owe to all those young men who lost their lives.

We have a lot to be proud of still.

been to Blackpool air show today and had a lump in my throat when the Battle of Britain flight came over. I was so impressed with the power of the Typhoon and the sheer skill of the Red Arrows. It made me very proud to be British and if I did not have to work could do it all again tomorrow!smile
