thought of the day-or things that make you go MMMMM.

I’m sure Canadians are smarter than that.:D

I was referring to the ones South of that particular country.:D I know Canadians are smarter than that.

Radpoe Meteor,
Not yet I havn’t, a) been too busy, and c) It might break ebays strict:rolleyes: listing description ethics:)

I’d guess some of our friends from across the pond might:D

I am actually thinking about listing it, just to see who bites:D

A)have you listed it yet? B)any takers?:D 😀 😀

Yeah……the girly with the haunted wreckage on evil bay……..:rolleyes:

Please… I have only just stopped laughing over THAT one! 😀 😀

:confused: :confused: Just to perplex you all completely & think what the :dev2: is he prattling on about,a few years ago it was suggested by someone(a scientists probably),that by the laws of probabillity we have all breathed some air that has been inhaled by Lord Nelson:eek:

Or part of one of Hitlers farts, some dinosaur breath or even Amelia Earharts sneezes..etc…:eek:

By thinking on similar terms is it possible that we could all have owned,held or even swallowed(on a molecular scale) aluminium from an allied or axis aircraft without being aware of it.:cool:

Go to Kingman Az & you can find lumps of it laying about in the desert for bloody miles..

Should be good for a laugh…:D 😀 😀

After all, they do say, “There’s one born every minute!”

On that wonderful train of thought, I would like to offer for sale on ebay next week this item:

Shard of aluminium.
Starting Price £0.99P
Item ends 6 days and 3 hours
This shard of aluminium wreckage was once a Heinkel He111P flown by Kg 55 it was shot down on the 12th July 1940, and crash landed at Hipley Hant’s.
Recycled and made into a Spitfire that was itself shot down and force landed in France in 1942.

It was recovered by the German authorities and made into several thousand mess tins for the Wehrmacht. One of those messcans was melted down in 1947 and used in the manufacture of a teapot.
The teapot was sold in britain and remained in service untill 1962. it was then scrapped and ended up in the rear quarter panel of a short wheel base Land Rover.

As with all land Rover’s, the chassis rusted and the bodywork was scrapped. The aluminium from the rear quarter panel was melted down and used in part towards a greenhouse frame. You are bidding for a shard of aluminium from a 1982 greenhouse that contains minute particals of air that Nelson once breathed and also has minute particals of auminium from a 1940 Heinkel 111 and a Spitfire…as well as a Land Rover.
Unfortunately, I cannot provide providence to substanciate this wild outrageous claim!
😀

ROFLMAO !!!

I’m surprised we haven’t seen an ACTUAL listing like this! 😀 😀 😀

I was going to say, “Don’t give ’em any ideas”, instead I’ll just say “Nothing would surprise me!” 😀 😀 😀

My hypothosis is, an aircraft is built in Britain in 1939 & shot down over occupied Europe & its components processed to produce an axis aircraft.This aircraft in turn is then shot down over the UK & goes through the same processes.

Over the years some of the original aluminium goes through various guises as the cycle of processing continues,ending up as beercans:) bike & vehicle parts,foil pie trays or even the aluminium used in tap water to make it sparkle

Recycling in WW2 was not very advanced,for example all the cooking pots/kettles gathered by Boy scouts into huge piles at scrapyards in Uk for WW2 aluminum aircraft building were never used. You could still see these mounds in the sixties at several yards in Blackpool for example.

They were collected entirely as a morale boosting scheme so that the civvies could believe they were helping the war effort on the home front,same applied to a lot of iron railings as well.
