I think if they are serious they should try talking to a certain man with a farm in Canada NO not that farm but the other one who has some chunks of mosquito and three Merlins lying around as well as some Lysander and other bits.

But perhaps they have and the man has told them what he tells a lot of people to go and do with themselves.:diablo::diablo::diablo:

that must be why stuff is being cleared from the North Side to make way for the 6/12 months minimum they have been talking about its going to take to do some structural work also.

Or does their own hand outs and press releases not give the correct info ?.

Fact boys girls are much better at multi tasking

fact boys girls can exhibit far superior hand to eye co ordination in certain circumstances.

Fact it is the girls that have been kept out in a male dominated profession the girls are now being given their rightful place alongside the men.

Or John would you have them all still walking ten paces behind us ???

The only response I can give to your post john is to quote a little German in a coal scuttle helmet peaking out from behind an aspidestra in Rowan and Martins Laugh in “Very Interesting “

And I am not interested in anything they may or may not want to sell or may or may not want to auction or may or may not want to give .From past history to much politics to many conditions and we dont meet any of their criteria anyway.
So we would stand more chance of getting aircraft out of the major Russian museums “Simples” by comparison.

If it is or is not happening or going to happen as far as I am concerned its a public interest posting .I would hate for them to give sell or otherwise something that does not belong to them it does very little for the PR.

They did have factories completely hidden in mine shafts and in old quarries and underground tunnels !!!

Yes there is a lot of C**p about some of the projects but there is also some factual stuff and you must admit a lot of the designs and technology they came up with was pretty near the mark. A lot of the post war stuff done by German scientists on both sides shows this.The fact the Russians seemed to get better rocket guys to start with as they seem to be able to put a bigger payload into space with a better more efficient rocket system that is still being used today.Where is the space shuttle ??
whose rocket system are the Americans now using to get into space ??.

going back to my original reason for posting is it Alien or is it aftermarket (post war developements).

Thanks Bruce I thought that perhaps they did not like to hear what those of us with any knowledge on the subject had to say ???

Spitfire

I am trying to make out if its a TDL one as its doesnt look like a GB Replicas one unless its an early one .It does not show the interior to see if anything in it as some of the film production ones had a seat and dummy panels in.

And it looks like a Mk IX
