After WWII, Douglas Bader was holding a talk in a posh all girl's school. "One day I was in the air and these two Fokkers came from nowhere", he said "I had to outmanoeuvre them to try and shoot these Fokkers down, but these Fokkers were..." At which point the headmistress interjected and explained: "Ladies: A Fokker is a type of plane that the German's flew in WWII" To which Bader replied: "This is very true, but these Fokkers were in Messerschmitts" Title: Re: Coventry Kit Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, October 25, 2019, 12:43:46 Reminds me of a joke/anecdote.

Neil Harvey. He was asked if the modern player, has to handle more pressure than in his day... "Pressure, I'll tell you what pressure is. Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse, playing cricket is not." Harvey had been a fighter pilot in WW2 Title: Re: Coventry Kit Post by: Red Frog on Friday, October 25, 2019, 14:52:58 Reminds me of a joke/anecdote.

Fokker was a Dutch company which started out in Germany before WW1, when it supplied machines like the peerless triplane of Red Baron fame for the German air effort, but had moved back to NL by 1919, and in WW2 only supplied the Dutch air force which was pretty much entirely destroyed on the ground in the Blitzkrieg of 1940. Bader could have talked about Focke-Wulfs, but that would have spoiled the story.

Its for that reason that Douglas Bader never told that story because he would have known that, which is why its actually credited to Stan Boardman, a man who could not be classed as one of the greatest thinkers, even in Liverpool.Bader could have talked about Focke-Wulfs, but that would have spoiled the story.
