Film trailer – Australian buried aircraft

Lincolnshire shirley?

😀

I dont think so…. and please, don’t call me shirley!

As far as I’m aware, Loathe was a Tory gain in Scotland…..

…and there was me thinking they were both towns in Scotland.

So Midlothian is somewhere between Gritted Teeth Tolerance and Blind Unswerving Dislike? Lovely villages I believe.

I am surprised you guys have missed Mt Tarampa (near Lowood), there is a rumour about something being baried there. There underground bunkers, I have been in them, but it was empty

cheers

What is it with Aussies & conspiracy theories? This isn’t just about aircraft, it crops up on almost any forum, covering any topic.

Aaaaaarggghhhhh !!!!!!!!!!! I’d tell you but you would think I was paranoid.

😮

Is that his real name ?? 😉

Correct Robbo. I stand admonished.

admit it Moggy, you meant “Loathe”!!!

I always have an “intense aversion” to edit the titles people use unless the spelling is too ghastly, it has no capital letter, or worse still it is ALL IN CAPITALS.

I thought gliders were “aircraft trailers” and they’re difficult to reverse up the driveway too!

I must admit I thought it was talking about a Queen Mary or similar, but I am always loathe to edit the titles people use unless the spelling is too ghastly, it has no capital letter, or worse still it is ALL IN CAPITALS. But as you gentlemen complained I changed it, just for you.

All part of the service.

Blast! We will have to start our own ‘buried aircraft trailers thread’!

😀 Same here, thought it was going to be an interesting thead, but oh no, just buried ‘Spitfire treasure’ again!

Now they’ve changed the thread title, it makes us look like a couple of thickies, thinking it was about a buried aircraft trailer, just because it said “buried aircraft trailer” in the thread title…..

Not solely – IIRC NAM’s Piston Provost suffered that fate circa 1972, as a result of legislation introduced post-Biafra ‘historic airframe’ shipments!

:diablo: Cut the spars like they did in the early 1970s!! 😮

isnt that more a USAF thing? 😉

I hope this pans out to become true.
I’ve often wondered if scrap dealers have to sign some form of Air Ministry contractual assurance that the aircraft will be broken up, and not saved, a bit like nearly all the surviving German U-Boats which were scuttled north west of Ireland after the war during Operation Deadlight, to stop them appearing back on the sub market.
My own local dealers, JG Williamsons, have melted down literally thousands of military aircraft, from WW2 aircraft like Spitfires (at least 240 of them!) and Lancasters (including the Upkeep airframes which had survived), to more recently Shackletons, Buccaneers and now Nimrods. To my knowledge, they’ve never saved even one airframe…

Not convinced they’ll find anything big but surely worth watching. I love how the local kids knew all the guard dogs by name!
