    If someone wanted to see Scotts base hut they could always travel there to see it but a Spitfire at the bottom of a lake is completely different.

    I would say that Scotts base has an infinite life insitu but the Spitfire has a finite life in its present position, if it is there! Find it before it is too late.

    NASA never asked Paul C. Fisher to produce a pen. When the astronauts began to fly, like the Russians, they used pencils, but the leads sometimes broke and became a hazard by floating in the [capsule’s] atmosphere where there was no gravity. They could float into an eye or nose or cause a short in an electrical device.

    Could the ‘lead’ in a pencil, which is not a metallic substance cause an electrical short? :confused:

    Can they not get in touch with the rep and arrange them to find a flight home?

    Assuming they have a rep! Could be self catering, camping, hiking tourists. Great to see that Avro still have the bargain £19 one way flights! 🙂

    I think that this lack of gratitude is very poor and is not what I would expect from Americans in general.

    Deftinitely got their priorities in the wrong order! Don’t forget to check out Paul’s (Skippyscage) photos, very good.

    You’re right, well worth a look, maybe the Navy should keep these in case there are any more defence cuts. You should have emphasised that these are for sale! 😀

    Yawn! It is nice to see somebody other than R Weaver posting questions, but honestly, this one is pretty lame. .

    British Airways plans to introduce a new Russian regional route and increase the number of flights on its existing routes to the country, a company official said on Tuesday. Daniel Burkard, regional commercial manager for Eastern Europe, said BA franchisee British Mediterannean Airways British Mediterannean Airwayswould operate three flights a week from London to the Urals city of Yekaterinburg from May 10. The new route will push the number of British Airways’ flights to Russia to 50 each week and more are planned. “We are planning to increase the number of flights on the London-St Petersburg route from five to seven a week,” Burkard told reporters. “We are also planning to add one flight on the London-Moscow route during the summer period.” British Airways’ Moscow flights use the city’s Domodedovo Airport after the airline moved from Moscow’s outdated and uncomfortable main hub Sheremetyevo last year

    Found any Whitleys in Germany?

    Cheers

    No, none hiding in the Black Forest that I have heard about. I just posted the news item to show I had tried to research your request and perhaps help any other viewers. Due to the lack of response, I would suggest you try posting on Luchtzak Aviation, I cannot as they have screwed my registration up and are not accepting my posts! 😮

    I read something recently about a group trying to locate one of the Boeing Clippers too, which had crashed somewhere. That would be great to see revived.

    And wasn’t a museum constructing a replica Clipper?

    Nine runways! Very interesting! It now has two runways and five terminals, so would that mean they would have now needed 22 1/2 terminals? 😀
