Last month I has my 78th birthday, is there anyone here who is older than me. I can still remember snatches from the air raids in the second world war, and it is interesting how some things make such an impression on children's minds.

Happy Birthday @Jet Cash - my own father turned 80 on Monday so I've spent the week away from BCT whilst doing things with him.

Having been born in 1940 in England he's always told us stories of the bombers going overhead (both ways) as well as once being in school when a bomber came down (about to crash) pulled up at the last moment, went up over the school then crashed on the other side of the school.  Yes, it's true childhood memories of the war have left an indelible mark on my father's whole life.

I've found people my own age just don't get the sciences or technology in general - they know how to swipe up or down (or left and right) but aren't interested in behind the curtain, so I take my hat off to you for being of an earlier age when all people wanted to know about the world around them.
