"Heroes who shed their blood and lost their lives! You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.
Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours.
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace.
After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well" - Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 1934

As a very small gesture toward the ANZACs, I hangared the 109 for the day and flew Aussie Spits and Mossies today.

Here was one result:

A squaddie I came across a Ki-84:

Merged:

And I found him flying across my guns:

I followed him down just for good measure:

And landed:

 :salute to the ANZACs and all who fought to keep my country safe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
