living near hampton court bridge. a german aircraft came over and lobbed out a bomb and it landed on the other side of the road to me. it was a good job it was a light bomb because being a heavy one, i shouldn't being a heavy one, i shouldn't be here talking to you this afternoon. well, if we were ——if i had an incentive tojoin the airforce, but ——if i had an incentive tojoin the air force, but was given the air force, but was given the grace of emphasis and i thought i must go out and join the airforce thought i must go out and join the air force and you never know, i might be able to catch up know, i might be able to catch up with this chap, of course i never did. and as you've been an instructor, i take it you would like to go on instructing? and i ratherfoolishly

like to go on instructing? and i rather foolishly said like to go on instructing? and i ratherfoolishly said no, sir. i want to get to grips with the enemy. chuckles. very aware that the enemy was only too happy to get to grips with me! anyway, iwas too happy to get to grips with me! anyway, i was then sent to a night fighter training school because i wanted to become a light fight. and one day, somebody came from don bennett's pathfinder group and came across and said if anybody here with 1000 flying hours, i'd like to recruit them into our bomber command night flight striking force. and i thought well, that's for me. i saw this rather elderly

navigator with a canada flash on his shoulder. he must�*ve been all of 28, so he was quite an old man. have you crewed up with anybody? no, he said. so i said what's your experience? and he said to me well, i've been an instructor, a navigation instructor, at prince edward island. so i said to him you found yourself a pilot. and i think we made a very good team. he was, without question, the very, very best navigator on the squadron. and i was incredibly lucky to have had him as my navigator. taking over on the tarmac a line of new mosquitoes ready to display their powers in the air, mosquito is the great

found we worked our way out of berlin. and i turned to him and said, doug, you won't frightened were you? and he said no, iwasn't frightened were you? and he said no, i wasn't frightened, frightened were you? and he said no, iwasn't frightened, i was bloody terrified! laughs the scariest raid, without question, was when i was picked up question, was when i was picked up by a jet fighter. it was what was known as outerwear radar. 0nce what was known as outerwear radar. once he got it visual knew he would give you a blast of cannon fire and you would cease to exist because the fire from the ne 262 was formidable. in my aircraft i had what was known as radar detection. so as soon as he turned on his

outerwear radar, i got a signal in my cockpit. and then i would take immediate evasive action, as i did, by dropping down 10,000 feet and altering course. and my navigators complaining bitterly and saying to me, well, how do you know! i can't see him. and i said, very good thing too, because if you could see him, he could see us, and we would be dead. so i can't afford for you to be wrong. and i dodged in and out of the sky and all over the place, and eventually i took him down low, because when you get down low, jet aircraft consume large quantities of fuel. and i knew this chapter only had 45 minutes from the time that he took off to the time that he took off to the time that he landed back at base. and i thought sooner or later, he would have to pack it

bomber, two gunners and flight engineer. and all the lads that i was with were all canadians. and really, you did have to look after each other and look after yourselves. and we managed to get through 31 operations. in bomber command. as the flight engineer, you had to make sure that mechanically everything on the aircraft work perfectly. and we call a bombing raid over germany... let the bombs go from the aircraft and you could see these bombs exploding on german

soil. and the number of people being killed. and i used to think about it. you knew it was happening, but tried to forget it. that you were bombing civilians. it's a funny feeling, you know, to be involved in war and to be killing people, and knowing you are killing people, and also thinking, not knowing, but thinking, not knowing, but thinking that there was a reason and a right in doing it. but since then, i have realised that there wasn't a right, and there never will be a right for people to fight each other. never ever. and there are

hello there. it's looking pretty different weather—wise this weekend — we're not going to have wall—to—wall sunshine like we've had the previous weekend. we have low pressure working its way and that's going to bring showers and some thundery downpours for many places. and there will be some sunshine around, but you'll notice it's going to feel increasingly humid. 0ur air source still coming in from the south, so it's going to be fairly warm. but here it is, this area of low pressure continuing to edge in towards western areas. that's where we'll see most of the showers, even longer spells of rain across northern ireland for saturday morning. best of the sunshine towards eastern areas — could see a little bit of cloud here and there, and there could be the odd shower popping up into central areas into the afternoon. some low cloud, mist and murk affecting northeast scotland and the northern isles, so temperatures here only

around 13 or 14 degrees, but for most, it's the low to mid 20s. so, not quite as warm as of late, but still well above the seasonal norm. now, as we head through saturday night, we continue with showers through central and western areas, again, some of them will be heavy and thundery, tending to stay dry the further east that you are. and it's going to be slightly milder, i think, saturday night — a warmer, muggierfeel to things out west. now, into sunday, this is the day where i think we could see most of the showers and thunderstorms. they will become widespread across england and wales during the day and there could be some torrential downpours in places. now, there will be more cloud around, too, so it's not going to be quite as warm than of late, we're generally looking at the high teens, low 20s for many of us, and still some low cloud, mist and murk for northeast scotland, the northern isles. through sunday night, it looks like we could see an area of thundery rain spreading northwards across england and wales, pushing across scotland into monday, so a very wet start for monday morning across scotland. that heavy rain becomes confined to the north highlands into the northern isles, but elsewhere, it brightens up, sunshine and showers —

again, some of the showers could be heavy and thundery in places. but with more sunshine around, it'll be a little bit warmer, i think, with temperatures again reaching the mid 20s in the warmest spot. and then, as we move beyond monday, low pressure always nearby to the north and the west of the uk. however, towards the end of the new week, it could be the high pressure wants to build back in again, so that should kill off the showers across southern areas, and we could see temperatures rising again across southern britain with the increasing amounts of sunshine. but most of the showers will tend to be across the north and the west of the country. see you later.

notjust mitigation, but adaptation as well.
