  • A dying generation did this country proud.Makes me very angry looking at the state of this country now,and some of the tossers who live here now,English and immigrants.

  • Well said spotjak but it's our leaders who are the tossers; they couldn't organise their shirt buttons.

  • @thebladerunner11 I'd 'Smash Her back doors in'!!! LOL!

  • Such a stilted rehearsed interview with Gibson's wife...almost like an amateur play production.In fact they were planning to divorce around this time.

  • It doesn't matter how many times I hear these stories, I'm still in awe of them and what they did.

  • im sure i read unlike the film that only one of gibsons former crew volunteered to go with him on the dambusters mission. he wasnt the likeable easy going character that todd portrayed but then so what given what he did.

  • @spotjak

    well said mate- on another note a certain Mr.Henry Keiper has banned me from making comments on his Star Wars variation of the Dambusters (and blocked me from all his other videos), which i thought was in poor taste, as real men died on this raid, and nobody actually died in Star Wars.

    Thanks for posting this excellent and most respectful video.

    The CD of Gibson is the collection of music he chose for Desert Island Discs for the BBC. Harold 'Micky' Martin is buried in Gunnersbury Cemetary in West London.

  • @MarsFKA Sorry, I thought i knew but you are correct.. I was mixed up with Les Munro and Dave Shannon in the second handshake of the king. Mick Martin was unmistakingly the first airmen in the clp to be seen smiling and shaking the hand of the king. What may not be known by some is that Martin died on the same day as Eve Gibson, sometime in 1988. I weep whenever i think of what those brave men did.

  • In light of the brave face and supporting wife role played by Eve Gibson in the interview (she was an actress, after all) comes this poignant quote by her in "Dambusters" by Max Arthur: "I never really knew him. He kept his innermost thoughts to himself. His first love was the Air Force and he was married to whatever aircraft he happened to be flying at the time. I only came second."
