Im sure I read somewhere that the duxford lancaster was almost completely rebuilt with the idea that if PA474 crashed, it would be next in line? 🙂

It’s a shame it’s not running at least to just be a static display the sight of two lancs fly above while this was ground run would set the picture.:D

How much work involved to ground run this without the elf and safety mob getting involved hypothetically of course?

You don’t buy a boat and not make it float nor would you buy a car and not drive it, So get her back in the air where she was built for and belongs.:)

Some photos from the bombings (some include dead people – Gadaffi’s soldiers -, so beware).

There is one though which is quite funny:

Those bullets that go up vertical must come down!! Best hide.!! 🙂

He was shot down by Oblt Brinkhaus.

How do you find out which pilot shot down which plane is there some records to view online.?

May it be your viewing time?

As i work shifts in the afternoon there’s been programs on Discovery on sky & military History i watch before work.

I do agree lots of American repeats but most of sky is repeats so a good shake up required on all channels.

[QUOTE=Hurn;1703217]Air Ministry, can’t really help you other than suggest you sent an email to the VttS and ask. If there has been an error perhaps you’ll get your name on the new plaque that’s due to be printed at the end of February.

Ah, that old chestnut. 😉

I always wonder why people suggest grounding it. Yes, like all old aircraft it definitely is a money pit, but it’s one that no-one is forced to donate to unless they want to.

It wants to be out earning money as i think many are fed up paying for it.

Send it to the states for 2 years then to auz and bring it back after it’s earned some cash in the vast lands across the pond.

Or leave it there and swap it for something else.

Sorry for the long winded response, Not at all.!!

I do listen down on 11.175 usb, USAF frequency & 11.479 RAF,

Plus 5.6800 is maritime band can be interesting when the helicopters are out playing.

Plenty to listen to there is many more HF frequencys & VHF of course this rig is widebanded rx & tx for the HF & VHF 222mhz band plus 131mhz rx only.

I thought they had in the war AM for voice as my old mate listen in on his fathers homebrew receiver with a long wire in the garden.:D

Those VHF sets was the mode in AM or SSB? & Frequency?

And the HF sets what was the frequency in the 0-30mhz band?

I know during the war a old friend was a young boy of about 10 and his father was a radio ham as i am today, the radio gear he still had some and this young boy used to listen to the air battle in the sky above.
