I fly whatever I fancy but on a lighter note.....

My mother fought with the Greek resistance and my dad was in the Eighth Army under Montgomery in North Africa. During the invasion of Italy my dads unit were shipped to Greece to help re-instate the Greek Monarchy and quell the communist movement - my mother then fought with the communists once the Germans withdrew from Greece though she was more anti Royalist than a communist.

I asked my dad how he met my mum and he told me she chatted him up. Unfortunately for my dad, she was setting him up as he was on guard duty and a bunch of Greek partisans nicked trucks, arms and munitions while distracted - he was court martialled as a result......but hey, they got together anyway, married, had me.....and my brother.

So whatever the politics......I owe my very existence to them......
