    RE: Tom writes some more…

    An extract from a diary kept by F.IIE 809082 Bob Walling:

    Feb 14th

    Babe Haddon and Johnnie Wiseman both went for a Burton.
    They were shot into the sea off the French coast buy one Fw190.
    There was a general mix up over some MTBs in the Channel and in the end 4 Fws had been definitely destroyed and three probably destroyed.
    Cheval got two and one probable and De Selys got one Payne got one and P/O Polak a probable.

    RE: Airshow Irritations!

    A chap called Ken Adam was involved in a bunch of Bond films as a production designer. See here: http://www.artofjamesbond.com/adam.htm

    That is Ken Adam, as in Klaus ‘Heine’ Adam, a Typhoon pilot with 609 (West Riding) Squadron.

    So, who knew that then? Eh? Show of hands.

    Also, the only German fighter pilot on the British side I believe.

    609 kick ass again.

    RE: Airshows Past

    No No No Lancman. You have it all wrong. The West Country is full of cider drinking bumpkins (its ale drinking carrot-munchers where I live, but i have traveled out that way). Duxford is the only place in the world, you know that. Its central (well, not too far from me, anyway) and has loads of planes. I reckon they should move Hendon and Cosford there, and all the other airframes in the country. Be superb. Then they could have Legends every two months as well – except when its cold.

    Why not sell up, quit your job, and move? After all, you know it makes sense.

    And they’d have to take the Lanc off its perch then, wouldn’t they? (actually, they already have one at Duxford, so they could scrap the Hendon one to save space.)

    Yes, I knew the Mossie crashed. A great shame – 2 good chaps in there if I recall correctly. The Fw190 scale replica – I had an inkling it was that. Bee Beamont test flew it, and said it was remarkably like the real thing. The Sunderland – a friend saw it in the states, perhaps we should have a forum get together at Oshkosh and Miami one day?

    Who cares? I got the DVD of ALL the clangers episodes yesterday, Series one of Jamie and the magic torch, and episodes 2 and 3 of Chorlton and the Wheelies. And they were on offer.
