Taxis the river pilots and bar pilots to and from the ships waiting at the mouth of the Columbia River
With the sad news that the impressive Pilot's Station situated in Folkestone Harbour being demolished this week, I thought I would upload this information regarding the building we sourced from a local historian.
Goodbye our Brutal friend.

Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka (Cherry Blossom) suicide rocket pilots of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Jinrai Butai ("Thunder Gods" Corps) of the 721st Kokutai ("Air Wing"). Standing left to right: Petty Officer Kuwata, Reserve Sub Lieutenant Kanae Okamoto (who may have been the senior officer of three surviving pilots of the "Thunder Gods" Corps on Kikagashima at the end of the war); Sub Lieutenant Isogai; Sitting left to right: Sub Lieutenant (illegible)-moto; Squad Leader Mori-(illegible); and Sub Lieutenant Hosai. The Ohka, developed in 1944, was a manned cruise missile that was carried underneath a modified Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" torpedo bomber, Yokosuka P1Y Ginga "Frances" bomber. While the 721st combined squadrons of Ohkas, G4Ms, and A6M Zero-Sen Fighters, the lack of pilot training and experience meant that the unit suffered from poor tactical coordination. The G4Ms were easy prey for the American Grumman F6F Hellcat fighters, and in the debut attack against the American Fleet off Okinawa on March 21, 1945, sixteen G4Ms are shot down along with their Ohkas. Only four or five Allied ships are known to have been struck by Ohkas during the war. The image appeared in Parade Magazine in October 1945, when the American public first began to receive details about the suicide rocket program.

Volunteer pilots fly historic Spitfire planes at airshows to showcase their beauty and power to the public. These skilled pilots generously donate their time and expertise to honor the bravery and sacrifice of the pilots who flew Spitfires during World War II. Their demonstrations of aerial acrobatics and precise flying maneuvers leave spectators in awe and admiration.
A small monument of a golden pilot is on Avenue Louise, the scene of a heroic attack on the morning of January 20th, 1943 from lone Belgian pilot, Baron Jean de Selys Longchamps. This was the culmination of his dogged desire to fight the Germans wherever he could.
After the Belgian surrender, the Baron fought his way to the Dunkirk evacuation and immediately returned to France to fight. After their capitulation he went to Morocco, where he was arrested and imprisoned in an internment camp. He escaped over the Pyrenees into Spain and onto Britain where he joined the RAF.
He had asked permission for an attack on the Gestapo HQ in Avenue Louise but got no response, so when on mission over Flanders, he diverted his Typhoon, flew low over Brussels and let rip with cannon fire at the Gestapo HQ at 453 Avenue Louise, threw out a Belgian flag and Union Jack and raced home as fast as he could. Up to 30 Gestapo officers died.
The British demoted him for disobedience and gave him the Distinguished Flying Cross for bravery. Sadly he died 18 months later, returning from a sortie over Ostend.
