Here's a link to a podcast of an interview with W/cmdr Tom Neil who fought in the BoB, it's well worth taking the time to listen.

Maybe women should do these types of interviews. This is about the best one I've ever heard. She doesn't really know too much about the subject so she more or less just lets him talk not putting words in his mouth.

I thought it was amazing how vivid his memories still were some 70 years after the event.

What happened yesterday, on the other hand !!!!!!!

I thought it was interesting that he described the Hurricane as a bit of a burner, never heard that one before.

Can't download the interview for some reason.

Did he mention that he had written a book titled 'Gun Button To Fire'?
