The sea from Dunkirk to Dover during these days of the evacuation looked like any coastal road in England on a bank holiday. It was solid with shipping.

For a number of years in England nobody had any idea what I looked like.

Like the Spitfire it was immensely strong: a pilot had no need to fear the danger of pulling the wings off, no matter how desperate the situation became.

With this, you can afford a holiday on the coast where you can also view the sea from your room.

Estuaries are coastal bays, harbors, sounds and lagoons, places where rivers meet the sea.

It looked like a pagan banner planted on a Christian rampart.
