    AN update. Some 50 were onboard when the aircraft (AN-24) hit the ground with a wing during landing after which the machine exploded/caught fire. There are believed to be no survivors. BW Roger

    Ah Cees, that sounds as if I made more big “missers”you knew about, but I didn’t. So, I am very curious. Gr Roger

    We had a holiday house in Blanes but the news didn’t reach me, so I didn’t know. The fact that it was for 2 or 3 years dumped in the harbour, where I didn’t came anymore for years, was unknown to me. Had I know, for sure I had made some calls and it should have been safed. I just didn’t know. from that moment on, I went to the harbour everyday the ships come in, but the only thing that was ever brought in was a leg of the 88 (I think). That was also scrapped, but not after some parts were removed by me. There was a pic in Flypast some years ago (5 to 10 years) ago. I think it was in the january or february issue of 96 or 97. It shows the boat with the 88 hanging in the nets. BW Roger

    Como digo! To be honest, the Hellcat looked like **** when compared to the JU-88. It was a complete machine, with wings on it and everything. It was found in the nets of a fishing ship and was brought onshore in 1 piece. After years in the harbour it was scrapped. I still have some pieces of it here at home. BW Roger

    It was a Hellcat, and after spending some time (years) in the backyard of the local Guardia Civil , it was scrapped. Only the armament remains in a small display at/near the police station. Even worse, an almost complete JU-88 was scrapped in Blanes, some 80 km from where the Hellcat found its end. BW Roger

    I do a fair amount of work for severall mags, so maybe I must say that some won’t accept cleaned up pics and go for the inferior shots, while others don’t care or even prefer the cleaned up ones. So sometimes there are severall mags showing the same pics (clean and “dirty”ones) on the same shelves in the bookshop. BW Roger

    Hi Jochen,

    Just for you I shot the highest tower in my city. As it is cold I did not go out, but shoot the 500 mm right through the double glas and the curtains/vitrage. Gives some extra great effect. By the way, did you know that Madrid is also famous for its almost 376 churchtowers? So while I go the the museum, the FIO and the militaria shops you are most probably not around as you are tower chas 😉 ing By the way, I gave the pic a closer look but I noticed that you are also involved in chimney photopgraphy. Don’t know how much of those there are in Madrid.BW Roger

    Well Jochen, to take your mind from churchtowers a 1000 meters distance, how about first weekend of July for an expedition to Madrid. It’s hot there at that time of the year. BW Roger

    Hi Jochen, still waiting for your shots of the snow covered church tower you have practised on for the last month or so. ANd no, thats’s not my Ferrari. I don’t like fast cars or fast aircraft. I prefer the more heavier stuff (does more harm when I hit somebody). BW Roger
