Ahoy Shipmates

I was ANZAC Day here on 25 April and here is a superb story in relation to U -468 and a Kiwi pilot.

I hope you enjoy it

Sean,
Great story thank you for sharing it with us all. Thats one of the reasons I enjoy modeling, because I get to learn the history of the model I'm working on through the research I conduct.
