Stormbird:
I’ve found the fate of the Rapide. SHe was written off in a crash near RAF Fraserburgh on 13 December 1942.
None of the Tiger Moths survive.
Hope that helped.

Hi Stormbird262,
I was born in Melbourne and lived there for 44 years but I’m afraid I can’t understand your banter old chap!:)

Glad to hear you are out, Stormbird.
2. Ex-British W.W.II pilot Richard Hall, date of birth 19/6/1920, now Australian (citizen, I presume). Can anyone help with his service details; he served in N Africa among other places, and is now in a nursing home and Stormbird’s phone call was cut short as Dick was getting too excited reminiscing.
A quick check on the Australian W.W.II Nominal Roll throws up a few Richard Halls, but they weren’t pilots, as far as I can see – If he was not an Australian citizen in W.W.II, he wouldn’t be included, I presume.
Any other ideas?

I’m BACK!!

Now thank you Grey Area, Jame’s and the well wisher too! 😉
My leg’s are getting better again once more, and I am walking a few Km’s each day with me stick/cane.
Now about the Movie and Aircraft.
I have never heard of a Envoy doing 450 mile’s a hour!!:eek:
Musta been running it on pure Nitro :rolleyes:
Damn shame if all the aircraft are no longer with us 🙁
Pity no info on Richard, I doubt he will ring again.
Anyway, I have a lot of thing to do, now that I am home.
Moving all my book’s and book shelf’s is a massive job, like working out in a blooody Gym!:rolleyes:
I will soon have a powered scooter to help me get about a bit more.
Oh and I read REACH FOR THE SKY in hospital again, timed it well as the B of B was on too………..help’s me push on every time!

Sorry, mate. Looks like I’ve drawn a blank with the UK CAA. 🙁
I’ll try a few other sources later.

Sorry Old Boy, can’t really understand your banter;)
You sure it’s just fags your smoking?
I think being very ill and on serious medication might affect most of us…
Translation:
1. There’s a British film called ‘Q Planes’. Do any of the aircraft in it survive (registrations included in post) and Stormbird would like to see any photos that can be found.
2. Ex-British W.W.II pilot Richard Hall, date of birth 19/6/1920, now Australian (citizen, I presume). Can anyone help with his service details; he served in N Africa among other places, and is now in a nursing home and Stormbird’s phone call was cut short as Dick was getting too excited reminiscing.
Anyone care to help?
