I know exactly what you mean old boy!
The amount of times I've been flying a He-111 to the I12 Radar Station, and been overcome with the guilt that I'm bombing my own country, probably why I've never actually hit it
Yes Coventry took quite a blitzing from the Luftwaffe in 1940, there is a bomb hole in a field 15 mins walk from where i live, its absolutely huge. The old Cathedral doesn't even need mentioning.

Thanks for the heads up!, That's another book for the collection.
Typical Italians really, its like a real pizza, most basic ingredients on the planet, but the taste is out of this world.
