O que impressiona mais é a idade desses homens e mulheres.

É, por baixo, 93-94 anos...

É simplesmente fantástico esse reconhecimento que os ingleses têm para com aqueles poucos que fizeram muito.

 

Emocionante.

 

E o design do Spit... principalmente visto de baixo, em vôo... belo avião.

Uma das razoes para que a Inglaterra seja o que e, e essa capacidade de reconhecer e valorizar os atos de bravura de seus combatentes...

 

Arrepiante de se ver, e um fato que nao deve nunca ser esquecido...
