Thats very sad news indeed. The Lost Bombers website is an incredible body of work, which I have used time and time again. It is a noble legacy.

R.I.P.

Nice pictures. Looks like access is relativly good, despite the aircraft hanging from the ceiling. I never really understood why museums are so keen to suspend aicraft with wires. Surely we all know they are flying machines and can enjoy them without such a visual reminder.

I once powder coated a motorcycle frame and encountered a problem with inside threads. These needed to be re-threaded as the powder build-up prevented their proper function. When re-threading them, it was nearly impossible not to crack the coat around the hole, thus exposing the frame, which then had to be painted. So all in all I didn’t gain anything from powder coating and would not recommend it for motorcycle frames.

As for aircraft frames, I agree with the posters above. Its not worth it.

It appears that John is unable to post at the moment, so I have taken it upon myself to continue the quiz. John can always post again when he returns.

Here we go:

I think you are right – it was just something I noted.

I found a list of RAF operations/losses during the Battle of France 1940

Under each sqdn there is various losses listed. unfortunatly many of them are not fully recorded, as the situation was very chaotic.

Wrong report…sorry

Thanks for posting. Its great to see/hear about the days when these fantastic aircraft still worked for a living. BBMF flyovers are just not the same..
