Howard, I only caught the tail end of the story, as my wife was dishing dinner up, so I an unaware if they will put up some sort of Memorial, (Unless one exists already),If not, then they should, they, along with others deserve one.

There is one of sorts at the Petwood Hotel, the former officers mess. Now owned by a cousin of mine, there’s a room dedicated to the Dam Busters and can be hired for special occasions. Next time I’m in contact, I’ll see what is known about these latest developments.

Always thought that a death would be due to mis judging their height, not a chute failure. Sad news indeed.

This stuff doesn’t go into the tank, it’s not an additive.

That smell, that gasoline smell. It smells like when I used to go to the Speedway, The Rayleigh Rockets
It smelt like Victory. 🙂

Yea, go the Rayleigh Rockets. Used to go see them every time they raced at home. Pity the stock cars that come later, ruined the track and the bikes disappeared. Even the stadium’s gone now. Happy days of my youth still remembered.

Sorry can’t help. Before my time with 47 Sqdn Bev’s.

Great job Phillip. What displays are you going to place in front of it, and how many?

Not my intention to take anything away from those involved in the scale Mossie project as I truly believe it is a wonderful achievement. However, the scale modeler in me says “if only they had paid just a tiny bit more attention to a couple of key areas”. The top side views are really fantastic and serve to hide a couple of the more egregious discrepancies in the outline. A monumentally ambitious project no matter the slight scale innacuracies.

Picky, picky, picky.

In your search for knowledge, discount the Split Flap, at least initially, as it’s counter intuitive. Looks more like an air brake than a lift device.

TonyT, you from Australia? So happy to see our Recreational Aviation Australia tutorial suggested. A good resource for all budding pilots and or home designers.

I’d much rather see them up there in comparative safety and totally aware of what they’re doing than on the ground, texting with iphone plugs in their ears and totally unaware of whats happening around them as they walk the streets.
