Someone I know who was brave like Sully when the Hudson crashed
So during world war 2 my great uncle on my dads side Ted was a bomber on
the Lancaster's and they used to measure the bomber flight crews life span
in hours because so many got killed. He used to lie on his stomach in the
plane and have to look through a telescope to find the enemy target to drop
the bombs on. During this time they were trying to find the target, there was
an enemy fighter aircraft trying to shoot them down and if they survived that
an enemy fighter aircraft trying to shoot them down and if they survived that
they still had to try and survive the hundreds of rounds of anti aircraft
shells that would be shot at them. It didn’t very often happen but he was one
of the very rare airman to survive all his bombing missions.

Well done on completing another activity! I'm so pleased to see that you've taken some time to work on the Summer Learning Journey programme - great work! :)
Wow, that's a great example of bravery. Being involved in a war would be incredibly scary. Did your great uncle tell you these stories himself? Or were they passed onto you by your dad?
Keep up the great blogging! :)
Bye for now,
Mikey
