Would the German Luftwaffe have done the same thing over Nelson's Column in 1940? Perhaps not?

Hung the French Tricolor over Nelson's Column ? That would have sure got the Brit's back up.

Glad that people enjoyed it.

It's really amazing to me that such a mission was authorised and took place - it reads like something out of one of those 'Commando' comic books I used to read as a kid. If someone had told me about this in the pub I probably wouldn't have believed him.

Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction!
