And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Sank in 5 feet of water in Plymouth England on may 30 1986. I happened to fly the commander of MARCOM Canadian Armed Forces from Shearwater NS to NAS South Weymouth to fly the route to Halifax NS with Con Edwards and Bob Franks. I and a Sqn mate took off and caught the two PBY's half way to Halifax and barrel rolled around and played silly bugger with the two old birds, we were flying T-33s. After landing at Shearwater we welcomed the gang and much celebration followed, great times, great times.
