Every so often I throw the copper change from my pocket into a giant Bells bottle. It was full so I spent the last couple of days counting it out and bagging it up. I am more than happy to donate £25 from that to the Stirling Project pulley fund in the name of Sergeant Bill Woods, RAF. He didn’t survive long enough to fly in any of the four engined heavies, losing his life in a Blenheim IV N6211 in February 1940. He in commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial

17/2/1940, 110 Squadron. T/o 12.31 Wattisham for recce Heligoland-Borkum area, shot down by Bf110 of Hptm Wolfgang Falck (St. Kpt. 2./ZG 76, Jever) at 16.10 off Dutch Frisians and crashed in flames. Crew: Sgt. Frederick J.R. Bigg (Pilot RAF), age 27, Rm. 12. Sgt. William B. Woods (Obs. RAF), age 21, Rm. 21. AC1 Jack Orchard (WOp/AG RAF), age 20, Rm. 25.”

Does that mean the peas will be like bullets, the only salad you can get is rocket salad and the whole place will bomb because it’s too expensive?

I do rather enjoy Coca-Cola – especially at airshows – but can it be restored from the basis of such a find? Are we entering into the realm of “label rebuilds”? :stupid:

I saw this and thought ‘They haven’t finished the Stirling yet and they’re thinking of resurrecting another dead bomber’, then I read it again but without the capital B. :rolleyes:

Don’t worry – you were not alone – I though it was for one of Sopwith’s cockpit projects to ressurrect an extinct 1930’s plane.

Having said that, I seem to remember somebody saying on the old WW forum that there was a Bombay (or substantial parts thereof) somewhere in East Africa, but that was then and this is now.

I have always suspected that those lumps and bumps over the wheel house on a Spitfire wing were required to accommodate and optimise the toe in and camber development changes as the design progressed.

Mark.

Something here on those bumps above the wheel well
