…….also their readers

Yank B17 crews used to take pics of one of these flying though their formations, pilot waving cheekily. How do we know this: this test-pilot visited Biggin Hill about 1960-61, the curator of the museum took pics of her – yes, HER – a small blond lady, laying on the VI they had in the museum, telling them about the Reichenburg. VI prototypes used a concord-type wing, changed to the far-cheaper straight one by the bean-counters, this caused the stability-problems Hanna Reich had to sort-out. The VI was going through the sound barrier, you see. Problem solved by slowing the engine! Which allowed the Spits and Meteors to catch it. They even build a double-engined one, but the alternately firing engines caused it to wag it’s tail, both at once rattled eyeballs so you couldn’t see, and you were deaf for a week after. But she said it – and she – were the first to crack the sound-barrier. The curator used to enthral visitors with this story. Find the pics, DM, that’ll be fun!

eh?

Batman – Dark knight rises

Dark, depressing, miserable and absolute cr@p.
Actually cheered when Batman was blown up by the nuke at the end, that’s how much I cared for this sulky 2D character. Imagine the dispair when the knob appears in a cafe in Rome as the end credits roll………

I’d rather watch Apollo 18 again and by god, that was abysmal.

2/10

…..and let the Lanc feel air under her wheels once more.

Did she not do a ‘Victor’ taxy run a few years back?
Seem to remember a photo of it somewhere.

Only watched it the other night and for the first time, noticed a Lincoln in its postwar markings (!)

AOC wishing Gibson good luck, look through the windows of his staff car….:)
