# On a slightly different subject.
Noticed the choice of films you and your dad shared. You may be interested to know that Richard Todd is alive and well and shopping at the same convenience store as my mother, who goes all star-struck everytime they bump into each other (this being Lincolnshire, where anything to do with that mission is the stuff of legend).

# Sweet!
No Highway (James Stewart) had a lead character called Theodore Honey. That characters mannerisms were the spit of my father. He actually assisted with some of the details.

Back when Movie films had 'infomercial' trailers, my father was in one about a crash investigation into a Buccaneer (YARR!) jet. He was in the cinema infomercial prior to The Great Escape main feature!!!

# Nice one!
I can think of far worse films to support.

And as for Richard Todd: I've seen him about when I've been down there visiting my mum. It's odd, because I see him more as Guy Gibson than I do as RT, and given that the mission was planned about 1/4 of a mile from the house I grew up in (the building used to spook me as a kid), it's all a bit resonant for me.

Funny how random , yet how deeply-woven these things are.

# My father did some work with Barnes Wallis,
as was the nature of his work at R.A.E Structures dept.

Funny thing is - The father in law of the nurse dealing with my dad turned out to be a metalurgist who had worked with him at the R.A.E!

# yip,
I can relate to that - if I ever see my dad again, I`ll be making my "one phone call" very shortly afterwards

fucking waste of skin

# I can fully appreciate that.
People who say 'She's you mum though' etc, really get on my nerve.
If my father had been Hitler, should I have still loved him just because he was my father? HELL NO.

My father had all my love because he was a great man and an insperation to many others.

You can't choose your parents - TRUE
You can choose to have nothing to do with the shit ones though.

# damned straight

# Love is good.
When you realise what you have whilst you still have them, then you are a wealthy person.

Having shitters as relations helps make you realise the good ones and appreciate them even more.

# I love both my parents because they are fantastic
my mum had a shitty dad and my dad didn't really get on with his parents but they made sure our lives were great. I'm going to phone them tomorrow :)

# Nice one.
My dads last weeks, days, hours were so special.
I have no regrets and I'm so happy at how it all came together. It could've been a lot worse. He was happy and at peace with everything. It is a fond memory that I will always cherish.
