Partnership working? Is that the latest buzz-word?

I have been informed recently that there are “other stakeholders” in previous similar projects I have initiated. Really?

These days it seems that one attracts partners and stakeholders you didn’t know you had, and in projects about which said partners and stakeholders had no part,stake,knowledge or interest until they arrive and tell you how they will run your project.

Its a funny old world, these days.

This might help to answer a few of the question to how all of a sudden departments are working in partnership.

We might thing we are getting the short end of the stick, but in Ireland as crashed aircraft are considered historic archaeological object, that requires for you to 1, have a licence to search using a dectector !!, 2, Be a qualified archaeologist to seek to excavate your find, 3 you need to have sufficient funds for preservation prior to granting the licence to excavate plus all finds must go to a national musieum. Oh and if you want to clean/lacqure your finds that also requires a licence to alter.

Well you have heard the saying “its all there” well in this case it was 70 years ago:D
Nick any chance you could bury a few bits for him!!!

Dont think that’s an airspeed oxford undercarrage leg

Back in the early 1980s someone from an aviation group called on my grandfather who lived in Berriew, Montgomeryshire (now North Powys). My grandfather had been in the local homeguard and they were hoping he could help them locate the crash site of (I think) a spit. Unfortunately he was unable to direct them to a specific site, but just to a general area.

I was wondering if anyone can confirm if this was a Spit, indeed was there a crash (my grandfather recalled a plane coming down locally) and has the site been located since?

First time poster and I hope some obviously very knowledgable experts might help?

Thanks

Yes as Ross stated it was P7979, the cause of the crash was oxygen failure. The site was investigated many years ago early 1980’s by the Warplane Wreck Investigation Group and likely the people who spoke to your grandad regarding the crash.

One would think you would find a photograph in the local papers of the crash scene. What do you mean its all sprited to the 4corners, for £5.70 i need to bring something home to wales for my efforts:diablo:

A friend of mine has the other one from this set, I think you will find its history is a little sketchy but its presumed!

Funny enough that also has a bullet hole and in exacly the same condition, if my memory serves me right he paid around £150 for it which i guess is cheap especially if you could prove its provinance which is unlikely
