Things that make grown men well up.

Oh lord I'd forgotten about Up. That is really something, to achieve that effect with "just" cartoon characters.

It is, quite simply, the greatest 5 minutes in cinematic history to encapsulate the human condition.

If anyone found that upsetting (or indeed couldn't bear to watch it), they might find some cheer from this version:

Two Lancasters.
Not my photo, but I saw them at Great Gransden a few years ago.
If something sounds better than eight Merlins, I think I'd explode upon hearing it.

 

[Oldhippy]

I always get a lump in my throat when I see the Battle of Britain flight. The Merlin engine just has that sound that make your hair stand on end and those brave mad buggers that willingly went up time after time not knowing if they would come home.

The story of HMS Warspite (Pennant 03), my avatar picture. She endured WW1 and WW2 suffering shellfire, bombing, ramming, mines and a guided missile and right up until the end when she seeming utterly refused to go to Faslane to be scrapped, hugging the coast in a state off of Cornwall for years... It is but a ship, a ship for war, but if there was ever a machine with a soul, it is this one...
