Tornado

Thought it was a Vulture -engined relative of the Typhoon………… :rolleyes:

Dresden

I have no wish to enter this debate for or against

There are many far better able and qualified to do that than I can

However I think if anybody is interested in a seemingly balanced account of the “whys and wherefores”, they can perhaps do no better than read the approriate passage in Air Commodore Henry Probert’s definitive 2001 biography of Harris.

I suspect it may be a while before we see the two of them on the ramp together at Old Warden….or should that particular scene be staged at Mildenhall.

Oops

I suppose I should have realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat………….

It’s just that I’ve been trying to find out the background to that Bergerac me110 for about 20 years! :rolleyes:

There has been a big review ongoing in WHS shops to look at the magazines stocked. The bottom line is that although you may have been getting a particular magazine at WHS for any number of years there is no certainty that it will be stocked in the future.

I have been in intersting correspondence with the ever so helpful customer relations people at WHS. About as much use as a chocolate teapot!

They apparently have a shop save scheme which should allow you to reserve/order individual magazines (at a price – anything up to 3 months deposit required at the whim of individual shop managers)

I ended up down the subscription/order from the little local newsagent route

A classic example of corporate profit over customer satisfaction!

I wonder whether….

it’s an early PR scheme devised by Sidney Cotton –

I may be way off beam though :confused:

perhaps Mark 12 can help, now that he’s finished diving for the ditched Dambuster Lanc at Derwent – 🙂

you’re not the only one, Cees

Many former early Wixers seem to have migrated over here recently, although a number of us seem to have adopted an alter ego (or egos)! 😉

Perhaps we emigrees all ought to use our proper names :dev2:

Derwent Lanc

I’ll talk to Vic when I next see him about this ditched Lanc story

Funny how I lived there and never heard it before………….

Certainly over the years I’ve seen the dam so low that surely something would have been visible.

The Herc references remind me of the time I was drinking at the Ladybower (which was often as it was my local) and we rushed out at the sound of unaturally loud highly revving engines. A Herc was heading straight (or so it seemed) for the pub. Always assumed he had been flying up the dam and mistakenly turned right instead of left at the convergence. Goodness only knows how he cleared the hill……… 😮

There is just about a third York survivor in Canada – See the piccys on the (dare I say it) WIX gallery
