This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Listen to this great song written and sung by an Australian...
http://youtu.be/ot_-t-zz_hkFor example No 460 Sqn RAAF suffered heavily. It lost 181 aircraft on operations and suffered 1,018 fatal casualties [wiped out five times as the aircrew establishment was 200 at any one time] - the highest number of any of the Australian squadrons in RAF Bomber Command.
Only a few left now>>>

Nicely done tribute. My uncle was with 50sqn and did not return from a mission to Hanover, the rear gunner was the only survivor. Few years ago i visited the CWGC cemetery there. It was quite a moving experience. Shame it took so many years for the Bomber Command Memorial, but am glad that it was before they are all gone......
