I’m amazed I’m seeing Fokker eindeckers and not bright red Fokker triplanes.

Did anyone get this agitated when they were filming 633 Sqn?

In hindsight, they should have.

But, should we just wait until there is more than once source for this news? Or there are more details.

So far it sounds too crazy: Buy a $5M WWII plane just to smack it into the ground.

Nolan does have to justify the money he is spending that is not his own.

Read that comment again. Either Boyle is referring to WR963 or he wrote ‘someone’ instead of ‘no-one’.

That’s a Sunderland.

I will have to take your word on the turret. I an no expert on them.

One was converted with AI radar for night fighter trials.

One question:

Why would it be impossible to land and take off in a Nieuport 17 unassisted?

That’s the only Nessie they are going to find.

With the sonar survey it does look like we’ll soon know if there are any sunken aircraft lurking at the bottom of Loch Ness.

I spent a week there about ten years ago on a National Trust working holiday. Fascinating place. I wonder where the wing section is? I have not been able to find a copy of FP in a while at my local Smiths for a while.

When I was there the ranger at the time talked about the old WW1 hangers having to be demolished when the NT acquired the site (they like a lot of buildings were in a very bad way) bridges still wired up for demolition and stuff buried in the shingle no-one dares to dig up to find out what it is. And of course there are planes buried in the old airfield. 😉

Another story I was told was some AA gunners getting court martialled because they fired upon a german bomber with prototype ammunition.
