13 hours is about right if they fly across the UK, my geography is total whack but UK to Vancouver and to San Francisco is around ten hours, and to Spain is about three hours, so that makes 13 hours.

31. Although I still feel 28. I have that feeling I won't ever feel 31.

Re the European domestics and Tom, I have to check but I think I'd written into the text that Tom served in the Balkan wars
, although I confused Kosovo and the Croatian conflicts, so I'm not sure where and when that takes place, storywise. I'd written it with Croatia in mind but happening at the time of the Kosovan action, as my memory conflated the two and compressed them into a neater timeframe than they actually happened in. I think that means I muddied it even more.

Ah, here, from part 10, " The war years had taught him that, the months at the front"... it then goes on to nickj a few details from Sacco's graphic novel on the action that I've forgotten the damn name of, not fax from Sarajevo, Safe area Goradze.

Yeah, I'm here, I'm late though, sorry, give me a few hours or so. Real sorry. It was my birthday last week and I got taken away by surprise so life's a bit rushed at the minute.
