1.What’s the maiden name of the first US woman to break the sound barrier ?
Jackie Cochran wasn’t it?
Here’s a ghost…
Some kind of WW2 training field, maybe? Somewhere in New Mexico.
Thinks…isn’t it about time someone persuaded Eric to put his memories into print (heavy hint to Mr Ellis!)
“Wings of the Weird and Wonderful” two volumes I think about various oddballs he flew.
Jeepman, tell me this really is hypothetical, otherwise I shan’t sleep tonight :diablo:
My favourite (historical aviation) fantasy..
don’t tease.
Seriously, I’d phone up someone like TFC or ARCO and put them on to it. Someone with the means, experience and contacts to get it back where it belongs.
A name that doesn’t usually crop up on these ‘celebrity’ threads, and a woman too…

One day only..
Lots of interesting recommendations here. On a slight tangent, I’ll be in Normandy in October, but will only have 1 day for a ‘beaches’ visit, and I’ll have a small child in tow, so too much travelling is out. So what would be the best site to visit in those circumstances?

I sent a very strongly worded email to [email]info@crowboroughtc.co.uk[/email]
No doubt they’ll just ignore it, but it’s worth a try! :rolleyes:
I have done the same.
I saw it doing some mild aeros over Ford on Wednesday, was that your dad? 🙂
Its either real or a photoshopped Falcon
It’s a T33 believe it or not 🙂
If you’re interested in films, have a look at http://www.imdb.com. If you look up various actors of the right age, their biographies usually say what they did in the war, eg. Lee Marvin got shot in the a*se while serving as a Marine in the Pacific.
