RAF Museum Dornier 17 Recovery

Looking at thread 24, the Poly Tunnels, look far too small for a de-salination project, Quite a number of yrs ago, I visited the Mary Rose exhibit, and saw their de=salination system, ie, constant watering 24/7 365, for a number of years, and then there was the drainage of all the water to be treated and re used. However, I can see none of this in the Poly Tunnels, I realise that the Mary Rose was good old English Oak, and the aircraft is metal, perchance the set up at Cosford will be different?.

‘But look at it on the bright side, the internet has made the dissemination of false information, somewhat-correct information, half-truths, gossip and innuendo more efficient than ever before’. 😀

True, but you forgot drivel, – there a superfluity of that on the web too…:)

….but I think it reduces the importance and effectiveness of an excellent and increasingly international forum to use it as a bunch-of-buddies Facebook.

I agree, there are several more or less permenant threads here that are nothing but in-jokes.
And IMHO, the other aviation history site is even worse with people always playing “I know something you don’t know”.

I overflew the Goodwin Sands yesterday and must confess to having spent some time looking down to see if I could see anything.

Sad to recount, I couldn’t.

Cost..?

It’s going to be very interesting to see what emerges. Has a figure been put on recovery and conservation?

hi,morning,
at the last MBCC i asked one of the staff in there and he said they would be erecting a structure,and did indicate outside but where i don,t know,and that it would be plastic? so viewing would be possible.So unless they are going to raise funds for the museum by growing tomatoes,the “greenhouses” could be its home for the next few years.

Well said.

Most of us here have known each other for a long time, and if we treat a thread light-heartedly once it has been answered it is not to snub you or the OP. OK?

I must admit that I agree with poster Bravo 24, who elicited the above answer from a moderator (who I should perhaps be embarrassed to say I don’t know). And the reason it has taken me so long to post that opinion is that I immediately gave up on the thread after reading several “light-hearted” but quite in-joke and personal posts of absolutely no interest to me (or to Bravo 24, obviously).

There are several social-networking mechanisms that should allow you old buddies to metaphorically share a pitcher, but I think it reduces the importance and effectiveness of an excellent and increasingly international forum to use it as a bunch-of-buddies Facebook. I’ve seen it happen too many times, and trust me, it’s annoying to those of us who are neither in on the joke nor give a scheiss.

Certainly you can tell me to get lost if I don’t like it (and I will), but wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of a forum?
