Back end scrapped
Thanks Dave, it was the outer wings I was after.
Anyone know its current whereabouts?
I know today was the day so Congratulations to you both & all the best for the future.:)
70th anniversary of 616 sqn-the last & the first!!!
Formed at Doncaster 1/11/1938, the last of the pre-war Auxilliary Squadrons & in 1944 the worlds first operational jet sqn.
Floatation pad in case it lands in water inverted????:D
Seriously though, it does appearto be attached to a rig connected to an S-51 cockpit section!!!!
With the news of the death of a Gurkha in Afghanistan and this important time of year can I draw everyone’s attention to the Gurkha Justice campaign.
I received this email today – if you haven’t signed please do so and pass on the petition details to as many as possible.
Thank you.
Duly signed, although I only met Gurkas as they passed through the PAX terminal at Brize, they were always polite & cheerful- They are a wonderful people & as the e-mail says they deserve not only our support, but our eternal gratitude.
In answer to old spitty, I think you’re right about the Maus being a bitsa, regards the aircraft in one of my previous replies they ranged from an Albermarle to a hampden.
We can only live in Hope.
p.s. I’ve just looked at the Russian Website & doesn’t it put the Aberdeen range colection to shame.
I didn’ think I was that good!!!!!:eek:
Thanks for comments & advice- I actually “knocked this one together” during a lunch break in 2001.:)
I havent got around to do any drawings since, & unless its on a model kit I can’t paint on for toffee.
Mike,
Thank you for your kind thoughts-I wish it was that simple!
Without going into too much detail sadly it is both debillitating & incurable, but not life threatening- our best hope is that it can go into remission, so fingers crossed it goes that way.
Back to the subject, many years ago in SYAM’s early days (when the 1st Polish Mig 15 arrived in the UK) someone mentioned that they had read or heard about a Russian official stating that a british bomber of a type not extant in the UK was in a Russian museum.
To throw some hope in there, the German Maus heavy tank was supposed to have been destroyed at the wars end- but photo’ exhist of an example in a Russian military vehicle collection.
So there is hope yet.
This year I will be at the Retford service with both my kids- they’re 6 & 3 but both know their grandad lost friends in Korea & are learning the meaning of what Rememberance Day is about.
“The debt we owe can never be repaid-lest we forget.”
Never mind the rolls:diablo:- lets see ‘558 do a Zuracowsky cartwheel & then we are talking aerobatics.:D:D
I will try again, hope it was worth the wait!!!:)
I am not surprised, It’s the first time I’ve tried to down load an image. Please bear with me- normal service will resumed after I threaten my computer with a Sledge hammer.:o
