Yes, it was in poor nick. I’d hoped some of the internals were worth rescuing but I expect it got smelted. High tech meteorite sounds about right. I did take some video at the time but I’m hopeless at hanging on to things.

Last time I was there was with Elliott Smock, last year. the Balliol centre section was still there, in the big hole – we recognised it from a Boulton Paul data plate, and various other smallish aircraft parts were scattered around – including a rather nifty skin panel with a pair of cannon ports in it. Sea Hawk or Hunter maybe. I’m having that away if I get round to it.

I’m lucky to have stumbled onto a thread where we can all be picky. I assume the rest of the contributers are as hunky as me. By the way, that’s not an avatar I’ve posted.

I, and I think the rest of us, am/are taking the mickey(without trying to be personally offensive) out of all religions and people of faith, not individuals (unless they something really stupid!)

I have never seen any drawing or image of Allah. Maybe he was Jesus on Saturdays.
Jesus is the John Lennon look-alike from the Turin shroud (Yawn) and the Hollywood version of the story. He probably looked like Borat’s assistant for all we know.

Maybe you’d like to illustrate the story of Mohammed with a few sketches?

Strange to find this thread still alive 1 week after the nail-up celebrations have finished.

Inevitable if you believe in the resurrection.

I was brought up with good manners – ‘Always hold the door for someone and say, ‘After you’…
