Excellent.

Many thanks gentlemen.

I’ll pass on this information to my collegue.I believe someone wrote a letter to his local paper asking for information on the crash,so he asked me and I’ve consulted the experts.

Regards,Mark

Bit more info has surfaced.

One of my collegue’s cousins clearly remembers being taken to see the wreckage and reckons he was 6 or 7 years old at the time.
He’s now 72,so he was born in 1936.
That puts the year of the crash at either 1942 or 1943.

Would Polish squadrons have been converted to Spitfire IX’s or still on V’s by that time?

Just as I suspected.

I’d not read anything here or heard any excited noises from cousin Spadegrip.

Believe me,he’d have been singing from Woodie Spa’s church steeple(he’d have made the journey’specially from S-o-T to do it)at the prospect of CWH’s and “our” Lanc in formation,never mind landing at EK to pay Jane a visit.

Many thanks for the info on the attempt to mate AB910 with a rampant Harvard.
I’d completely forgotten about that incident.

Like we say,it really does make sense to have a good look around before entering onto the active and not just to leave it to ATC.

Miggers:D

A,A,A,A,A,Calm down,calm down(to be said in a Liverpudlian accent);) 😉 😉 😉

I like the new name al.Air Ministreh sinds rawther better,don’cha know:p :p :p .

Anyway,I didn’t end up wanting a shouting match chaps.

So which way do I go?,tall astro,short astro?

Lorenz “towel rail” or Rebecca/BABS “Yagi” antennas or both?

The colour profiles earlier on in this thread do seem to have Rebecca yagi’s and no towel rail,as to the astro height,that seems difficult to determin.

Miggers:D 😀
