Marine salvage is a business which has been going for many years and care is taken regarding legal aspects of ownership, otherwise the recovery costs can never be recovered.

In the current case the discovery of any human remains by the company involved results in a pre agreed system coming into use. This has been shown on other filmed sections of their operations. Great respect is shown and the knowledge of the loss is given greater publicity which only serves to highlight the courage of the convoy crews.

Leaving wrecks unsurveyed and unrecovered does not help with preservation.

Try the archives of Aeroplane mag, they have featured the aircraft a few times.
I have heard the nickname at Blackpool was Dee Dee One after a pleasure flight passenger misread the reg.

That Starr Gate tram kiosk was covered in superb large monochrome prints of the assorted pleasure flight bi planes, I wonder who has the negs?

Impact points of V weapons were leaked to press reports and double agents, however the locations were altered and this gave a false impression that many were falling East of the target areas. This ruse was a success and resulted in a gradual shift to areas of mostly open country West of London.

But the strangest fact is that some warheads contained propaganda leaflets not explosives. Info from a V weapon special edition of After the Battle.

I am saddened by the loss but know that the pride and ethos of the Royal Air Force with continue to be displayed.

Perth is packed with weight shift microlights.

Steve,many who are very keen on restorations never post here ,a few negative posts here do not represent the majority view. And I am sure that when the background to this incredible restoration is published both in book and article form your team will get all the thanks for the hard work which goes beyond just making an aircraft airworthy.

Reminds me of a pic in the first ever Wrecks and Relics of a B24 nose sat abandoned in an English wood. Wonder what happened to that one?
