    Brad you sent me in a spin matey....

    I suddenly thought Ive confused the issue mentioning the Russians, as 6th eneded up at Wismar and thus prevented with others a stroll into Denmark proper by Ivan. Dont do that again.

    Yes 1st.

    And sorry Reddog, can see why you said that too.

    Damn, Ill have to be more specific in future, but Brad you got the next question.

    Leonard Birchall, of the Royal Canadian Air Forces's 413th squadron, was dubbed the "savior of Ceylon" for spotting and radioing in that a Japanesse invasion force composed 4 battleships and 5 carriers were headed to Ceylon, the Island just southeast of India.
