    Just to keep you updated, the “dig” is now well underway, and so far remains of at least 1 crewmember have been found according to the latest press release. BW Roger

    Thanks to Vern Veburn, the Connie was safed from a very uncertain future at the time, and kept flying for over a decade. If it goes into retirement its fine with me.I hope that now its spare parts are no longer needed to keep it in the air, they can be made available to the other Connie operators so that they can operate their Connies for another, without doubt, limited time. As long as they can fly it is great, but when their days are over, and they will be preserved into collections/museums, well I can’t see nothing wrong in that. BW Roger

    The remains of the Lonesome Polecat are now preserved in our museum in Lisserbroek, Holland. Stieglitz has pics of it. BW Roger

    The 100-400 can be of great use for A2A. Did severall shoots with it without a problem. However I always removed the black lenshood as it couldn’t stand the windforce above.In the 1 1/2 years I used the lens, it was a great performing tool. I sold it a few months ago, and somethimes I miss it a lot as it was so lightin comparison what I carry now in my backpack. BW Roger

    I might be wrong, but when looking at the pics at full size, they have all the characteristics( (colour, sharpness) of being taken with a Canon 10D camera in the large JPG setting. If so, they are taken with a 1.6, making his lens an 160-640 mm. But I might be wrong. So Jochen, you can only tell! BW Roger

    Hope to make it. Did you already receive “De Kennemer” , the Stirling is in it. The Aviodrome gave them my pics. Don’t even know what publication it is, guess a “White Weekly”.BW Roger

    [QUOTE=BlueNoser352]Have never heard this, is there plan to raise the B-29 or photo’s taken of this . Wonder what a B-29 was doing in the ETO, I know during the war one B-29 came to England to show the Naz’s this bad boy was in the area. What year did this crash happen ? Maybe other’s here can supply some more informtion.QUOTE]

    The machine crashed/ditched postwar in 1948 (or so). Was never seen since it sank, and wasn’t raised, so it still must be there. Chanches of it being raised are nil. BW Roger

    There is a B29 in more or less the same condition in Holland. 30 meters deep in the Westerschelde.It ditched and was afloat for either 30 or 90 minutes, but in either case, if it floats that long it can’t be that broken. BW Roger
