Hi folks;
At the leading edge there is no engine mounts for
inline or radial that i see underslung jet engines?

of the japanese 262 copy.What’ya think?:confused:
LT Kent
Thanks DJ;
MR Smith who checked out the site he and a friend
left a bronze plaque .At least his grave is marked.
What year was that designation given? If USAF
could go to china unearth an F86 for litterlly a
handfull of remains [nova mig alley]maybe its
worth an extra look.Would his name be at Dayton
or D.C.?
papers
Hi folks;
I keep my documents and such in a 1942 field map holder,
though it made of heavy canvas it keeps them flat out
of the sunlight plus keep’em in a cool place.My fav is a
nazi 1939 auto club map of germany ,blue cover with
the nazi flag and eagle.I’ve never seen anything else
like it.anyone else got something novel?:D
A-BOMBS
Hi folks;
We can use the plutoniam from old nukes for power.there is
plenty in stockpiles,swords to plowshares.While we’re at it
what about the reactors from ssn’s and such? All you need
is bricks to house it and water to cool it.50.000 homes
per unit.Did i recall that our gods printed a pic of the
G.E. twin turbine nuke areo engine?I recalled that it was
huge! was it for the YB 36?
BOOM?
Hi folks;
I know of the bomb in the St.Lawrence river,but there is more
incidents in Canada than that site shows.I have xeroxs of a chapter
intitled
‘Crashes and nuclear weapons accidents in Canada’
There is as many incidents listed there than there is on that
site for the world.I never heard of the savannah h-bomb being
recovered.I’d be more worried about the german warship full
of posioned gas in the north sea:eek:

Hi folks;
In Flanders feilds where the poppies grow row by row.
These last couple years around here it feels like we
have never took ours poppies off,60 or more times
standing on the overpass to honour those coming
home in all weather down the Highway of Heros,
this has had an effect on this town.All the time
i’ve lived here the crowd at the town cenotaph has
grown by hundreds the last 5 years and i can’t help
but get teary eyed every year at this site.So as we
stand row by row hold the brolly for the vet,take them
to the legion after by them a pint and say thank you.
God bless them all!
A view from above
Hi folks;
How about a radar shot of the airfield from satilitte?
They have been used to find and follow the silk
road to a lost city or two in Iraq and Mayan sites.
It should show where the trench is.anyone who
knows someone who might help?It might be a starting
point that’s cheaper?Or is there something like
Landsat images that would help? Corona snaps,SR71?;)

Hi folks;
As i agree footage is needed for the investgation putting it up
for the ignorant to enjoy and comment is beyond the pale;
after watching the Nimrod go down[god rest their souls]
even nowadays seeing old footage in docs is hard once
you know what suffering is involed post crash.
But our love of the air,machines,courage we know there
is a dark side we must face if we are to go to greater
heights.:(

CF 100 / CF101
:)Hi folks;
1st CF100 ;There are 2 in Campbellford Ont,one is a early
model with a prototype short nose,the other is a later mk
maybe mk5.These gals are not too bad a little weathered.
On this site also is a very early Canso hulk with ‘turreted’
cover on the nose and CF 5 .2nd a CF 101 at a small
airfeild in Lindsay Ont at HWY35 and 7 she looks complete
but is badly weathered.Iheard there is one in Lake
Ontario near Ajax,any truth to that? Can our gods list
in the faq’s the ranking? Us ramprats like to know
when we’re being promoted or demoted::dev2:
Any one heard where our 100th year of flight show
will be held,I really want to see that F 86 strut her stuff!
:DHi folks;
I must agree it’s the arrow.I was walking around it when they
where taking donations for the skinning.I know of no one else
making mock ups of our a/c.If someone is let me know,daytrip!:cool:
AIR SHOW
:DHi folks; Great shots!I glad you got to see the spit Mr Russell made
us duck flying low full bore,nothing makes your day like standing
beside a merlin when they start! He put on a great display a few
weeks back at the Oshawa air expo,in company was a Hurricane,
to bad the me-109 was not there.I hope you’ll be at the C.N.E
this weekend.I’ll be looking foward to see your pics.I’ll be at
Sunnyside on sunday beachfront seats,I’ll be the tall lad with
the tilley hat with LOTS of pins on it aussie style.Let’s hope
the CF-18 comes in so low again to set off 300 car alarms again!:diablo:
Wolfgang.
