Oh what terrible news, my thoughts are with the families of their loved ones.
Just a little light banter to brighten the start to the week Stormin, no offence meant, we are all friends here. Any info posted is important to all of us and we are greatful for it.
Hope all goes well today and the weather is ok, it is a cracking start to the day down here of the north essex coast.
Cheers for now,

put xp399 into google and came up with ‘nowt else than a few snaps on airliners.net , one whilst in service and several in the state she is in now.
Here’s a link to the same photo, the outcome of the equiry and the in cockpit camera footage (looking backwards toward the pilot) of the final 24 seconds of the flight including the bang out, 0.8 of second before terra firma played a part in things.
As a result of not setting the alitimeter correctly the guy now pilots a desk.
Congratulations to all of you and welcome to a funny old world Bethan.
That beard (if that’s what it is) will have to go in a few months time Phil, far too “pullable”.

Having been blown out by Marine Salvage at the very last moment of negotiations to buy one, loosing out in favour of the eventual users I just had to watch…………boy am I pXssed off at this moment !
What a waste……….Where are they now ?
The entire MOD WW2 air recon photo archive of over 5 million images of Western Europe is going online from Monday.
The site is so slow at the moment, probably due to the amount of people trying to get on, I have given up trying to access it but once things settle down it should be facinating.
The link is below.
Do you know that there is no proper name for the back of the knees ?
