    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.

    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…

    Veronica Lake

    Only old farts like me will know her 😉

    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 had a quick fly of a C42 last year, and was also very impressed. Controls are a bit strange, especially the flaps and throttle, although the latter may come naturally 😀
    I really liked this aeroplane, biggest problem is staying within the load limits.

    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.

    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.
