Thanks for the heads up. Are you sure on the programme details as I can’t find this programme listed? Except 7:30 Monday 30th September ‘Inside Out’ is listed…. Not sure if it’s the correct episode though as it mentions nothing about the Dornier in the write up.

In the context of the phrase being used to describe someone who runs a forum that specialises in the German Air Force during WW2, I think that it’s a rather serious accusation. There’s enough naivety and ignorance in the aviation community already that it can be difficult to shake off the inevitable connotations that come part in parcel with running a specialised Luftwaffe research forum. It was only the other week that I myself on this very forum was accused as having Nazi/right wing tendencies simply because of my avatar. So in this instance I think it’s far from childish. People need to do some research before they open their mouths that’s all.

So let’s just drop it and get on with the already completely ruined topic of how a Do217 ended up being thrown down into a cave…. 🙂

Wow!

What about trying M.A.P.S. Medway Aviation Preservation Society at Rochester Airport?

I agree. I found the ‘Finding the Foe’ quite moving at times and you’re mentioning has reminded me to order the other two books. You’ve done well out me this month Mr Saunders, what with your new Stuka book also. 😀

Andy, do you know why in the Battle of Britain (or Blitz?) Then and Now Enßlen is captioned as flying ‘+2’ but not a Gruppenkommandeur marked <<+ machine. Also it mentions he was flying an E-7. For the period I don’t doubt this as being a possibility but it puzzles me quite how this was established considering the severity of the crash. Sadly I do not have the A.I1.(g) report for this one. Were these details able to be ascertained from the wreckage at the time? 🙂

BTW: Great photos Guy, thanks.

Putin is not wrong. Realistically we were still a small island off Europe during 1940 but that didn’t stop the hearts, courage, and bravery of the nation beating back from our door the Nazi beast that had conquered the rest of Europe. Most indigenous working class people in Britain still have that kind of British heart but sadly we do not run this country or the propagan… I mean media. Which is hell bent on denying exposure to anything that our Great Islands have achieved in our past. Our National pride is continually being chipped away as we are slowly groomed and benumbed into accepting our fate of being assimilated into the EU.

Not the best copy but should be the image you are thinking of?
