TIGHAR survived (survives?) by keeping people hanging on a hook: there was always the promise of something around the next corner and lots of talk of new revelations and discoveries. They also promised members the odd video etc and from what I’ve read very little of the latter ever appeared either.
Lucky chap: spent many a relaxed afternoon drinking lager or coffee on the lakeside at Lindau. I hadn’t really thought of sunken treasure though did see the odd dirigible overhead.
I think the target (in terms of displays) is Oshkosh. Mikey was clear from Day 1 that the target isn’t Duxford but to get ‘DTD airborne by/on 6th June.
Yes RAF, and they still the term used today at Odiham/Benson, we never called them ‘Walters’ could be a squadron thing, when were you on them?
I clealry remember the CO at Shawbury coming into the crew room to grab a couple of instructors one morning saying “We’ve got to send 3 cabs to Lockerbie….” (Not a good mission unfortunately)
