THIS DAY IN WW2 (2.9.40)
In Washington... Following the agreement made in July and later detailed negotiations, a deal is now ratified between Britain and the USA by which Britain gets 50 old destroyers, veterans of World War I, but desperately needed for escort work, in return for bases granted to the United States in the West Indies and Bermuda. Considerable modification will be necessary to make the ships ready for service.

Over Britain... The German attacks on the British airfields continue.

In the Mediterranean... Admiral Cunningham's fleet is reinforced by the battleship Valiant and the carrier Illustrious from Gibraltar. He now has three battleships and two carriers. The composition of the Gibraltar based Force H varies greatly from time to time because of the uncertainty regarding the behavior of the French Fleet. The Italians now have five battleships in commission, including two modern ships.

18. STATUS QUO - MARGERITA TIME (1983)
Let's all face it, this mawkish nonsense is rubbish. I'm a Quo fan and I think it's rubbish. Bassist Alan Lancaster hated it so much he refused to appear on this vid and left the band over it.
