Freeman Field Luftwaffe recovery vid.

Isn’t Freeman Field the place where they uncovered a huge cache of propeller blades from all types of Axis aircraft around twenty years back?

Went to see Al Stewart last year in Liverpool. The bassist is an American and some of his mates were sitting in the row of seats behind us. After every number they stood up and did that dreadful whoo-whoo-whooo’ing and drove us up the wall. Despite the fact that they were the only people doing it and stood out like sore thumbs this didn’t put them off one jot. I think they believe it to be acceptable behaviour and they have no modesty when it comes to displaying their approval of anything. I hate it.

Rant over.

“Plane parts”? I was expecting them to dig up some old hand tools.

Yes, there was a big display of axis equipment there after the war and a lot of it looks to have been bulldozed. They’ve found some impressive stuff. Will have to practice my high fives, Elliott. I’m normally a demon for them.

I’m guessing from ex Luftwaffe aircraft broken up on the site….

Shall have to watch this when it comes on. Being a metal detectorist myself, I tend to watch the
various US series on the subject. Believe it or not, this pair are two of the more laid back chaps 🙂

Did they say how the aircraft bits came to be there ?

The next time I see you and Gareth pull something out of a hole I want to see some high fives please.

I think I shall have to practice my ‘whoo hoos’ for when I find my next piece 🙂
