| An odd, but somehow appropriate, send-off for a WWII RAF ace WWII RAF ace Terry Pendergrast recently passed away and his family gave him an odd, but very appropriate, way to "make his final sortie." Read the news story in this link to Daily Mail story: RAF Ace's Final Sortie I applaud his family's effort and his service.  CAUTION: Avert your eyes from the sidebar story and pic of actress Melanie Griffith unless you wish to experience nightmares and sudden hysteric blindness. Eye bleach is recommended.    | |||||||||||||

| Re: An odd, but somehow appropriate, send-off for a WWII RAF ace Great story! Sorry to loose another WWII vet. That "hurricane' for the coffin, looks like IXO's new-release for "SPRING 2007".  | |||||||||||||
