Wonder what will happen to the stripped out fuselage and wings of the first Mosquito project mentioned – which presumably is TV959. Seems a shame to discard it as it presumably would form the basis of a good static restoration – after all it was on dispay at Lambeth until relatively recently albeit with a wing sawn off.

Presumably much of the hardware could be found with some searching although then we’d have the issue of two Mosquitos with the same identity.

With the the Shackleton being replaced by L’Oreal, it seems to be that it’s a case of “because you’re NOT worth it”

Could it actually be a disc attached to a dog’s collar with the owners name and address in case the animal is lost. Might explain the presence of an address with the name.

Could ANOT be the exchange (or a shortened form given that the dog is unlikely to stray many miles away)and 11-2 and 11-1 be the telephone number(s) – we had a three digit number at home well into the 1960s – and even now when visiting I will still answer with the old exchange name and the three digit number out of habit

We’ll have to be careful – the Flypast forum is morphing into the Flyperscale forum…..

I think a lot of these new companies are interconnected – for instance, the recent M20 tank transporter was announced by Hobby Boss but ended up being marketed by Merit International. Also a lot of the mould cutting and production for some of the newer eastern European companies is undertaken by some of the Chinese companies – they also share box art artists.

Could be from a K-4 with the longer tail wheel strut. JG27 did fly them

Sorry to stray but I have worked (and am still working) with Bronco on all of their 1/35th jeeps -from, particularly with the British Airborne stuff, initial proposals, through collection of reference material, suggesting corrections to 3-D designs, and development of decal artwork to even making comments on the box-art.

I have always found them to be extremely receptive to assistance and advice – so it’s not every Far East manufacturer………

Just been an interesting programme on BBC4 examining the enduring appeal of the British 1950’s black and white war film – plresumbly still available on the BBC iPlayer.

Even sadder that no-one chose to preserve any Flower Class Corvette in this country

HRH Harry Windsor RAF background

Some members of the Army Air Corps might want to take issue with you about that…………….. 😉

Thanks Mike – although I suppose I was thinking more of the outright theft of items rather than the type of situation you mention.

That’s the sort of response I hoped for – although I never actually anticipated that the subject of the theft would be a whole airframe

Fasten your seat belts I sense turbulence ahead!:eek:

Why – it’s a genuine question but if anybody wants me to remove it in the interests of Board unity – which seems pretty fragile at the moment – then I am more than happy to do that.

Just to be clear- by crime – I meant nefarious activity rather than a perceived view of a legitimate activity.

It is of course one of the sister aircraft to the airframe that was the start of the Chinese Stirling survivor legend back then in the days of the Warbirds Worldwide Forum as it had crashed on take off at Kunming in China.

Any truth in the assertion that the Egyptian Stirlings were buried in the desert after they came out of service?

This is not intended to ignite a Burma type free-for-all – but is simply a genuine question – so can we keep it that way pleeeeeeease!

If they’re still there then it is probably one of the best chances of seeing a complete Stirling

Another tip – if you have already painted bolts and nuts but you want to tighten them (or simply want to avoid the chance of chavelling up pristine paintwork with the edge of the spanner or socket) just place a piece of plasic bag between spanner/socket and the nut or bolt and tighten as normal.
