one of my late Mothers favourite films
not sure if it was because of Richard Gere or her memories of nights out at Burtonwood during the war ( a bus used to run on Saturday nights from the Boulevard in Blackburn and a group of 'girls' from Ossy used to use it).
the confusing thing about the movie/film 'Yanks' was that the Richard Gere character was U S Army who I thought were based in South of England prior to D Day , thought only the US Air Force were based in the north of England , happen I'm wrong .
thread wander ... seem to remember there is a memorial somewhere between Preston and St Annes (Warton ?) where a US Plane crashed on a school and killed a lot of children
