• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

While watching a Youtube video on the Battle of Britain, I came across this joke in the comments and it made my day.


"You know my grandfather was responsible for downing 35 German aircraft during WW II ....
to this day he's still considered the worst mechanic the Luftwaffe ever had!" :costumed-smiley-034
 
Billy Bishop of Canada shot down 72 enemy aircraft during WWI. Later, his son served in the RCAF during WWII as a fighter pilot. When asked about this, or asked if it helped motivate him in his own efforts, his son would reply, "Absolutely. Between us Dad and I shot down 73 enemy aircraft."
