Certainly RAF air gunners wore electrically heated suits. A late workmate had one fail on him while in the tail turret of a Lanc!

After sales service reliable….?

I wonder what the route will be? I suppose passing over the South East (East of London} is unlikely?

I tried several times last week to make a new post but that button didn’t work. It did after a few days.

Some parts store there. B17 parts too…..

Rate fixers in industry negotiated piecework rates with the workers (later the unions)

When I visited Metheringham They were restoring a Dakota that had been part of the Assault Glider project
. Their plan is to build a hangar hopefully big enough to take the glider too. Then I saw the Puma nose against the Chinook at a distance and the illusion suggested a Horsa fuselage!

Excellent museum! Managed to get there in September for the first visit in 4 years. Always there are improvements. A trick of the eye from a distance made the helio fuselages look like that of the Horsa glider. But possibly that could end up at Metheringham?

Yes thanks for all the photos and news this year from all the regulars. Best wishes and safe flying for all at Duxford in 2019.

There was a ‘plan’ to put AB on a platform near the London Eye but like others it seems to have faded. It would need gutting and a new interior. Delta Golf at Brooklands was fitted out with interiors from BAs stores at LHR. I doubt if there would be much left now. AB had magazines etc piled up in parts of it to keep the C of G about right. 🙁

Suggest you try on Pprune Military Aviation. There is a classic thread on ‘Gaining an RAF brevet in WW2’. Where somebody may be able to help.

I turned off the A17 and drove through ‘the camp’ two weeks ago and it was defiantly in Lincolnshire then. :confused:
A bit confusing for trainee navs when a journalist moves it all that way!

The ‘Kent Messanger’ did publish a map showing the ‘fate’ of each V1 whether in Kent or off the coast marked with a black dot. I did have one but not at home currently.

The more I see of 788’s inner structure I think that aircraft builders and RAF airframe fitters (in those days) did their apprenticeships in boiler making! Keep up the good work Blue 2 (and team) you show every week what enthusiasm cane achieve. 🙂
