    Thanks everybody so far. Yes, the situation is a lunatic one. This morning, we managed to get 2 pages in a nationwide paper, so that is the first move. This morning I was called by the radio/tv here, and they are also going to give attention to the situation. So, I think the cityhall is not going to like it at all. Getting al the publicity one can is the only way to handle these stupid politicians in my opinion. I don’t understand why they are gambling with the situation. If the wreck is raised (and it is near the surface as at 4 meters rock hard sand is preventing any penetration), and if ammunition is found the salvage operation will be paid for by the governement, not the cityhall, so what is the deal. With 2 500 pounders, and 4 machineguns in the nose, there will always be found explosives.

    Thanks Danien, that’s what I thought. In case things go wrong, and 2 500 pounders go off, what will be the radious of damage (apart from that the entire village will be in need for new glass) for the nearby houses?

    When compared with the enclosed pic, simularity with an Org Todt is almost 100%.

    Looks like RAD or Org Todt to me. For sure no WH, LH or Police.

    Flugzeugforum.de is a nice one in Germany. I don’t post there, but I read it almost every day.

    Honestly is anyone else excited by the fact the there is a FlugWerk 190 about to fly at Duxford, I know I am!

    Yes, I am very happy/excited with this. And the moment I know it is on pv, I am going to get “us” (a group of 5) a ticket from Ams to Stansted to view it.

    And now, after almost 90 years, his camera has emerged in Holland! Asking for more and more, are there any known pics of him?

    Thanks for the information. Including some pics of the set. Now that the story behind it is more clear, I am considering buying the camera.

    The wingskins were replaced and looked very `clean` when I visited the musuem with EHVB during september. That museum is first class and a must see if you are in the area.

    Cheers

    Yes Cees, I remember, the hottest day ever for september that day in Berlin. They also have a great 109 and a bit damaged Stuka. Nice museum, and I returned with over 100 great shots ( and 200 more in the Luftwaffenmuseum later that afternoon after a blistering walk hill up in tropical temperatures)

    Thanks Rob, things are much clearer now. Am I right that at the time, 57Sq just moved from Scampton to East Kirby? Salu2

    This I know. it was a Lancaster mk 3, belonging to 57 Sq. It was lost on September 3rd 1943. Its code was PX-O and it had nr JA-914. Did the crew survive ( any names?), and from which base they took off? Realy big chunks of the Lancaster survive, and the wing and undercart are still in a very good condition.

    Yes, if you’re not planning to take any photos!! 😮

    Taking pics won’t take that long I think, 2 hours must be enough.

    Hope to go there in 2007. With a cheap flight from Holland, it is possible to make a one day visit, leaving early, and be back the same day. Salu2 Art
