| Viagra zdsfhtras, NE | Viagra est la pilule la plus connue pour le traitement de l'impuissance chez les hommes. La molécule active de cette fameuse pilule a été à l'origine identifiée par le Laboratoire pharmaceutique Pfizer qui conservait l'exclusivité de la fabrication et la commercialisation de la viagra jusqu'à l'expiration de son brevet.

| Steve Harris Tempsford, England, BC | The Lysanders of 161 Squadron RAF were based at Tempsford Airfield in Bedfordshire from 1942 - 1945. It is only since 1998 (when many records were released from the Official Secrets List) that the exploits of the Lysander missions have become more fully known. If you\'d like to visit www.tempsford.20m.com you\'ll see the activities of the \"moon\" squadrons based at Tempsford. 04/12/2008 @ 07:55 [ref: 20482] |

| Jack Botts , NE | On August 25, 1944, I was a radio operator on a 15th AF B-17 that was dispatched from our base at Amendola, Italy, to pick up four officers who were returning from a rest camp near Crotone, Italy. We had to land our stripped B-17 on a short dirt runway surrounded by trees. Near the runway a Westland Lysander lay with one wingtip on the ground, having smashed its landing gear in landing. We figured that some months earlier it had delivered, or was sent to pick up
an agent in the "secret" war. In any case, we made a clean landing and takeoff. 12/13/2007 @ 12:42 [ref: 18901] |
| Robert Hopkin La Linea, CA | I vaguely remember seeing the Lysander at an airshow at Point Magu in the mid 70's. I think my dad has commented about them from his childhood in Southamton England in the 1940's.
Probably an aircraft ahead of it's time in terms of STOL ocapability. 12/02/2007 @ 12:27 [ref: 18761] |

| Robert Ryan , OTH | I am an author of novels based around WW2. The one out next March, Dying Day is set during the Berlin airlift but has a flashback to a Lysander landing in France. The publishers have put the Lizzie on the cover. It's a great design (and nothing to do with me - I can't take any credit). I will post it on my site www.robert-ryan.net sometime soon. 10/26/2006 @ 10:15 [ref: 14575] |
