How's it going TGW?
Still working, I've made it past the probationary period and now am being expected to know what I'm doing. [:)] Hopefully they take my lost stare to mean "Yeah, I got that". But it is nice to be earning a check again. On the sad side, one of my cats passed on. So my family is down to just my other cat and the wife. Though our number is smaller we will press on.
Hope things are well in your world. You had mentioned leaving D... Erm your secret hiding base for something less Cold Warish, is that still in the cards?
Maybe we should see if we could scare up an AE Release party for our region, although that may cost us our pallor as we would have to go out in the sun. [:D]

And here's John Moffatt. John Moffat joined the Royal Navy in September 1939. In December he moved to a flying school in Belfast. Moffat originally trained on Gloster Gladiator and Blackburn Skuas. Moffat was then transferred to 818 Squadron HMS Ark Royal, based at Gibraltar in January 1941. On 24 May 1941, the German battleship Bismarck sunk the Royal Navy battlecruiser HMS Hood, and HMS Ark Royal was released, as part of Force H, to hunt down Bismarck and sink her. On 26 May 1941 the Bismarck was nearing the safety of the French port Saint-Nazaire. A last ditch attempt to slow the battleship down, so that the British heavy units could catch up with her, was made that night.
At 21:05 hours, Moffat and his observer T/S-Lt.(A) J. D. "Dusty" Miller, flying in the Fairey Swordfish 5C/L9726, crippled the Bismarck with a hit on her port stern. The blow jammed Bismarck's rudder 12° to port. This enabled the Home Fleet and Force H to catch up with and destroy Bismarck.
