FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
And you try and tell the young people of today that ….. they won’t believe you.
There is a report in the local paper’s archives of a Ju-88 crashing in Lossiemouth town, which was part of another raid. The man of the house saw it coming, legged it out of a window before the bomber demolished his home, and killed his wife and kids.
Lucky escape, I’d say….
Amazingly quick witted – saw a german bomber coming, and still had time to kill the wife and kids!
We need people like that in the gene pool.
Any idea when? I’ll look it up sometime
Hadn’t heard about any other raids on Lossie apart from the October 1940 He 111 raid. Perhaps over enthusiastic AA fire?
Just amke sure that if you pack aircraft into a small space that it is strong enough in heavy snow..

Saw that.
Haven’t flown there for some years, but very happy memories of many hours in several of those aircraft.
It was like a chinese puzzle, packing them in the hangar sideways on trolleys with inches to spare. Marks on the floor where wingtips went, and support to ensure that if a tyre went flat, wings wouldn’t crush canopies.
Lots of bonded warehouses collapsed too. Ice in your whisky?
By the way, Lossiemouth lighthouse got shot up as well. Don’t think He 111s carried cannon though. 7.62mm machine guns?
At last… a news website I might actually read every day!

I’m not sure I believe all of it.
Burt Rutan could probably get to Mars and have enough spare change from the Ansari X Prize for a curry afterwards.

‘Asymmetric’ doesn’t seem a good enough word to describe what would happen if one failed to ignite.
Yes, Mr. Creosote I agree. I nearly had an accident because of an immodestly dressed young woman. Then I nearly crashed the car.

Whitley? I hope you’re not just teasing The Whitley Project! 🙂
It would be espescially satisfying to find parts to assist them. I’d be pleased to rescue anything that could be positively ID’d as Whitley. For the rest, I don’t think the missus would want the garden turned into an MU.
Liked your last pic Al – you obviously have some pretty cool mates.
