    Any one convicted and sentenced to more than say, thirty years or, to whole life, should have, in their cell, a small – 18 inches by 12 inches, glass doored wall safe. In the locked safe, floodlit from within, should be a bottle of water – changed at suitable intervals – and a lethal pill.

    The key to the safe should be in the possession of the convict and available for personal use at any time.

    It wouldn’t work, the inmate, with hours to contemplate his fate would soon figure out that this pill was a weapon he could use against another inmate, warden, or pass on to a family member when they visit for use in another murder. It would be easy to substitute the pill with say a smartie, m&m, viagra etc then spirit said lethal pill away.

    What you could do however, is wire the door lock to the mains, so when scroat decides to remove pill…………….:D

    ah, that was me a few years ago. It WAS a very large flag and I had just washed it and run it up my flag pole to dry. I was asked to take it down by a member from the RAF (which I did immediately) A few days later I washed a German navy (WWII) battle ensign and hoisted it up to dry……… with no comments from anybody.

    It looks very much as though it may well be Roger Bushell’s N3194 of 92 Sqn, downed on 23 May, taken as it was progressively ‘souvenired’. Nice shots. Not seen them before.

    I guess they are fairly unique, I acquired them off (separate) Germans.

    I wondered whether they were 20mm hits on the starboard leading edge.

    Expect hallway and kitchen to flood again in the next 24hrs,…….. ready for it.

    Ready for severe gales, Spitfire protected with landy parked on wall to stop wing lifting (20 minutes ago) @80mph wind forecast. Wings tied down and tail secured.

    Roof (already damaged a few days ago) re-secured and ready.

    There you go that confirms it 100% the Nord 1101 G-ABYV-ex F-OTAN-6 was NEVER in 633 squadron.

    Thanks Snoopy.

    I wish folks would get there facts right the owner has been offered all the information as has the seller and all the photographs but by not replying I assume is declining or playing at being an Ostrich.

    As one of the previous owners I wish them well with there efforts to sell but perhaps correct information etc would value the aircraft more.

    Having just watched it again, not sure they’re Proctors, do they not have fixed undercarriage?

    Thought they were 108s(are Nords 108s?), I’m probably talking tosh (again)
