Great post Robwigham,are there any other published accounts of Nimrod action ?

Some remain as Number Crunchers, others take a much wider interest in aviation and even look for a career in the varied worlds of aviation.

Rude ignorant people are sadly just part of life and you just have to live with it..unless it becomes something beyond a few words.

With the advent of the internet there is little point in trying to fool anyone regarding aircraft identity unless its for fun, such as the Viscount fuselage at Rhoose marker G WHIZ used as a crew trainer.

Spotters do discover law breakers , example 2 transports turning up at an island in the Med, both marked with the same USA reg…one was smuggling.(Air traffic sometimes only log Callsigns not registrations )

And the USAAF attempt to muddy the movements of aircraft by painting the same tail number on aircraft leaving the data block below the cockpit unchanged was found by spotters using telescopes at Mildenhall.

As already pointed out, caution and a polite approach is needed when asking to view contents of sheds and airfield buildings, some owners desire to keep the details private and the aircraft may not be the sensitive part of the contents.

Perserverance, determination, enthusiasm are just a few words in my mind regarding this project. Well done to all those directly involved and also the supporters.

Yeah.. the sky was the wrong shade for Norway, the asphalt was not right for ww2, the expressions were not stiff upper lip enough…..

Totally great film , I still love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just watch a few episodes of Time Team , then you realise that no one really knows whats in the hole, even cases where others have dug before and that does apply to aviation sites.

Snoopy, your tone and coments leave a sour taste in my mouth. There are a lot of organised thoughtful enthusiasts who spent a good deal of time and their own money sorting out recoveries. In a very few cases there are remains to be carefully recovered with dignity and respect for the relatives.

The UK PMR may not be ideal, however it is a legal document and forms part of an organised rcovery plan.

The BAAC was formed to encourage co operation and sharing of information and members have made a lot of progress.

The devil is in the detail….while the SNP win votes with broad soundbite campaign ideas it is the detail of how, when and why changes will be made and funded which is needed.
If this detail can be made available ahead of voting for rational discussion I will be very surprised.
And any armed force will look little different apart from badges.
