Firstly, congratulations on welcoming your newest family member into the world. Finally some gender balance for poor Tania! 🙂 You've probably already looked it up, but just in case: USAAF is actually United States Army Air Force. During WW2 the US Air Force was not its own arm, but a branch of the US Army. A friend of flew F-15 Strike Eagles for many years and she once gave me a full rundown on the history of the USAF and the (now defunct) Strategic Air Command, and the politics behind the USAF not existing during WW2. It's certainly hard to imagine such young people going to war. My father trained as a pilot during WW2, but thankfully missed out by a few days on shipping out to the UK to join crews flying Lancasters over Germany. He's very much the reason for my own career choices, after he passed away and my focus on music had to change to something more 'practical' by way of engineering. I've still got his 'wings' and a number of RAAF magazines from his time in our own Air Force. I've also got some 'naughty' stories from his training days of crosswind landings in Avro Ansons 🙄 We won't be taking our Canter down gunshot 😱 It just doesn't bear thinking about! Another great video. Off to have our fish and chip night for now 👍 Looking forward to the next instalment.

@contributor7219 United States Army Air Force! Now I think about it, it makes perfect sense! I forget the air force was still in its early days back in the 1940's. Thanks for the information, as I had not looked that up, just assumed it was USA Air Force. Enjoy your Friday night fish and chips. Oh, and Kaia is doing well as is Tania, taking it easy for the next few weeks. 😃😃

@@VetinaVan A well-deserved rest for both sounds like a great idea at this stage! The info is the very least we can do in return for your lovely Friday night videos. Take care.

@lloydhenriksson Thanks! Our vids are just home videos and me working on my video making / cinematography hobby. No need for click bait as we don't need those views. 😉🍻👍

Thanks for the memories! Trying to get the caravans perfectly positioned was certainly amusing. 😂

Definitely yeah nah for us too when we drive through! It’s not that stuff is expensive 💰 to replace if you break it (but does play a big part), you’re in the middle of nowhere! Takes us back though!🙌🏾

At the time of WWII the American Air Force was part of the Army. USAAF was United States Army Air Force. Given that you need your vehicle to get back home, I cannot understand why people do gunshot.

@davidbrown2068 yup I didn't know that at the time, but it makes perfect sense! As for gunshot, maybe one day, but not this time! 👍
