@EmmanuelMacron Vous aviez déclaré à juste titre que l'OTAN était en mort cérébrale, qu'en est-il de la défense européenne. N'est-il pas temps que les industriels européens, fassent des compromis pour que ce soit une réalité ? Et éviter une dépendance militaire U.S

80 years ago, 13 Allied Mosquito bombers bombed part of Amiens prison to liberate 258 prisoners including many from the Resistance needed for #DDay preparations. They flew in broad daylight, making daring passes at 50ft to ensure the walls were breached. (1/2)

(2/2) Commanding Op JERICHO was Gp Capt Pickard. He & his navigator, Flt Lt Broadley didn't make it home. Together with their granddaughter & great niece, we commemorated their heroism in Amiens where they now rest. What a privilege to be with you. Al
