    Not much to work from in that pic?

    The last wreck I IDd, part of which was brought ashore by a trawler into Santa Pola, Costa Blanca, was the tail end of a Hudson, but it was easier when out of the water.

    😀 Nice set of clues for anyone who does crossword puzzles, so that lets me out.

    John, any chance of seeing a bit more of the beast?

    Canopy wise, it looks a touch post war, but with a two blade prop I’m not sure.
    Not a serious contender for any prizes?

    Congrats John A, that one dates back to around 1940.

    Most of you have probably already read the list of ATC jokes, but here’s a page that includes them and other amusing anecdotes:
    http://www.businessballs.com/airtrafficcontrollersfunnyquotes.htm

    One of my favourites:

    A military pilot called for a priority landing because his single-engine jet fighter was running “a bit peaked.” Air Traffic Control told the fighter pilot that he was number two, behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down. “Ah,” the fighter pilot remarked, “The dreaded seven-engine approach.”

    It shouldn’t be a crime to assist with someone’s death if they have a good reason to want to die, IMLO!

    When crunch time arrives, I’ll do what my father did, just lay down and die.

    Assisted death is an everyday occurrence with cancer patients being given morphine.

    Hugh Grunt, George Muckle, Amy Whathoose, Porous Hilton.

    All have done well from adverse publicity and sadly, it’s highly likely that Woss and Bwand will also.

    I’m an old fart, but I admit to liking Brand’s persona.
    Not Woss though, I only watch his ‘show’ if he has anyone appearing that I want to see, especially some of the other old farts like me.:D

    NB: Andrew’s grandaughter didn’t appear too phased about the incident when she was interviewed.

    This sounds like exactly the sort of thing I’m talking about, unfortunatly it is a little too far to travel for a day trip! :rolleyes:

    It’s good to hear that there are some totally unique exibits at NEAM, I would love to pop down for a visit but the 250 miles does pose a small problem! 🙁

    In your opening post, you asked a question about museums, with no mention of whether or not they would be within walking distance of where you live? :rolleyes:

    Much too easy Propstrike, it’s the well known, HUMBLEY-PUDGE GALLIPOLI HEAVYISH BOMBER.

    Right now I haven’t got any new ones archived, I’m sure you’ll remember this one from the other place, maybe someone else can ID it while I try to find something you haven’t seen.:cool:

    It’s an advanced trainer of the 40s, not from Europe, Japan, Australasia or the USA.
