She was not under 6m of water.

Swamp ghost is clearly visable on Google Earth (at the swamp loaction). Had she been under water, she would not have been found.

Would love to see/hear that.

There was a film made in 41-42 called “The first thing”. Which is kind of an introduction to military life for RAF personnel.

Maybe if you could specify some scenes from the film, nightflying, formation flying, or anything else that could make it easier to pin-point.

There are a number of DVD collections around.

All called something like “Royal Air Force At War – The Unseen Films 1939-1941”

amazon.co.uk

AFAIK these films are now “public domain”, meaning that they are no longer protected by copyright.

If thats the case, you should be able to find them cheaper than at amazon, or get a legal copy from someone.

I have the 1948-1953 collection and they are good fun to watch.

Maybe this just meens `Dont sell it to anybody who might use it against` in a USAF/USN paranoid kind of way.

Denmark has very strict laws regarding “weapon sales”. My guess is that some clause in the original contract states that it can never fly again.

It was even a problem when they sold their Chipmunks back in the late 70’s. Although reason prevailed.

Its likely that this Draken (I can’t see the Ebay listing) was part of the group sold to “Flight test dynamics” in California. Besides them, only 4 other organisations owns ex RDAF Drakens.

If anyone has the ID number I can look it up.
