Could someone please point me in the right direction for finding a copy of the interview that I think the BBC did with Sir Stanley Hooker not long before he died. Regards

His autobiography, ‘Not much of an engineer’ is a cracking read……

That’s what I thought, however I’ve read a report of a Catalina that dropped a stick of 6 across a U-Boat and want to try to confirm the facts.

Hi Chris, email me off board, I have all the pics you need!

Cheers,

Re: All the above………………..

Hello Everyone,

Would anyone mind if I ‘borrowed’ the cracking pics above and placed them in a new gallery section on my flying boat site at http://www.seawings.co.uk?

Reason is that I have been quietly building up a ‘Then & Now’ section over the years which is close to release (So far I have done Felixstowe MAEE, Castle Archdale and Kalafrana, Malta and some in Australia/NZ) and these pics will fit in superbly well.

The idea is that if anyonbe is interested and visiting, they can take the pics with them and go have a close look themselves.

If anyone has any other pics of any base anywhere, I would love to see them.

Thanks,

Try this………………….

Yup, the’re the ones……………

Actually, There are four in total but I bet there are more than that. I cannot believe that the ‘Flight’ photo’s were only taken in one’s………..If I was THAT close to an Empire, I would have taken more than one at the time – it was quite a rare event in those days for an Empire to land infront of you!

I’m just curious to see ‘what’s out there’……………….!

Evening fellow forum buddies, sorry about the silly question but, where is the oldest and most original Spitfire. Is it R6915 at IWM London?

It’s the one that was featured in Flypast a few weeks ago as the oldest FLYING Spitfire…………….wasn’t it?

What about the one at the Science Museum in London??
