….treat MH for what it is – a complete joke! Take everything they see, do, and say with a large pillar of salt. The programe is absolute c-rap!!

…..you can always paint your name on the back of the items too, thereby making sure the object is definately yours – just a thought!

….would be nice if one of the ‘lancs’ was donated to RAF Scampton, and set up as a ‘gate guard’. This would be a fitting tribute to not only the station, but also to 617 Sqn in general. It would certainly put the station more on the tourist trail.

…..and as an addition, two could be donated to East Kirkby to keep company with ‘Just Jane’. Imagine turning up one day, and you see THREE lancasters sitting there!

……he obviously didn’t like the price of their tea :D!!!!

….it’s typical of our uk government & the politicians! We spend millions of taxpayers money on general crap, but we can’t be bothered/won’t do a simple thing as this. Yes, i can understand if the a/c is buried 80 odd feet down, but i can’t understand why there isn’t a civilian contractor employed by the MOD to undertake recoveries such as this!

I can remember the scrap compound at RAF Brize Norton in the late 80’s where we had new a/c tyres, NBC suits, mess tins, aircraft seats, etc, (enough modern spares & obsolete spares to start a 3rd world air force) waiting to be collected by the scrapman. Everything was brand new, still sealed in wrappers, boxes, etc, but when it came to getting a pair of socks changed with holes in, i was told i’d be billed for damaging government property!

Hospitals are being closed down all over the country due to underfunding, but they still somehow find the money to buy sculptures/bronzes for putting outside the entrances to ‘brighten’ the place!!

You only have to look at the burials of recovered crews in france, etc. The allies send representatives, members of their forces, politicians, etc, whilst we send next to ****** all because it costs money.

….if you get the chance, you gotta see the raf apprentices museum! it’s in one of the hangars, and is quite fascinating! Not just for the apprentices pieces that were made, but also the early apprentices uniforms. They’ve got kit layouts, room layouts, etc. It really doesn’t do itself justice – you have to see it!
