This is awsome.
Obi-One and Obi-Two. I love it!
So many of the WWII heroes are gone now as are all the ones from WWI but the debt we owe those brave HEROES -all the allies men and women too can “NEVER BE REPAID!”
Brilliant... Awesome respect for RAF again. My father was ground crew in Iceland in ww2. Great presentation by the mcgregor brothers full of respect for their visitors of all ages. Well done.
I knew a very brave old man from Vermont who went to Canada in order to fly in WWII & he fought on the Battle of Britain ❤️🩹 R. I. P. Fred

Looks like you guys got a boost to the presenter budget
Great documentary, thank you.
I’ve always had respect for fighter pilots. (Salute.)

@@francis1769He betrayed the true role of the Lucas Star Wars character and took money to play an imposter written by woke, social agenda pushing kids, to get a payday and then labeled his critics as toxic. When in fact this was his 'luxury belief' that gave him status at the expense of the lessor class. I have never watched anything else by him since. I vote with my dollars and attention.
