GrandparentsMy awesome grandad flew in Wellingtons in the war. Damn, those shortages were terrible. Tell us about brilliant-stroke-rubbish grandparents.

GrandadRemember the scene in Top Gun where Maverick decides to buzz the control tower ?
40 years before It was filmed Grandad was a rear gunner on a Lancaster Bomber, even back then there was a tradition of buzzing a tower, and being in the RAF there was a little one-upmanship between aircraft.
They won hands down when the pilot decided to buzz the Eiffel Tower when on a sortie over France.
The bomber came within a couple of feet of the top and Grandad involuntary lifted himself off his seat as he saw the tower pass very close underneath.
