The Lanc from the BBMF had suffered an engine fire and leaking fuel tank.
Rumour has it she is now fixed.

Afternoon, Moosie! How are you this fine day? It’s only going to be 101 F today, with no wind and a 10% chance of rain.
I hope your day is better!

Watched a WWII British movie friday night, "Angels One Five", with Jack Hawkins. About a Hurricane base in Neethy (sp?). They had to borrow the 'canes from the Portuguese for the film.
Oh, those wild RAF flight officers in their off hours!
Interest bit during the Jerry bombing of their command center. Ladies manning the board (well, how else could I phrase that?) were told to don their "battle bells", the dish pan helmets.
By Gad! They were good enough against French armour at Crecy, they're good enough for Jerry.( with some mod mods.)
