Why do i picture you as private pile

Fairly accurate to be fair..

 

[missplumb]

these are two of my favourite war films, and Saving Private Ryan

Dambusters. It's off its time, but it's true and makes you think about inventors like Barnes Wallis and the brave blokes that went out on the bombers. Nothing beats the old British films.
Love the bit in the film where Barnes Wallis asked a top brass for use of a Wellington bomber for testing the bouncing bombs and got the reply, - What reason would I give for them to loan you a Wellinton as we need every one as they are vital to the war effort?
Barnes replied, - Would it perhaps help if you mentioned to them that I designed the Wellington bomber?
