Ok, i just done a little trawling and i think you have some wrong details
42-29009 was a P-47D,
43-29009 was a P-38J/F-5E from 13th photo squadron, 7th PRG

McBride was flying a P-51D in Rimini,Italy which had a landing accident on the same date as 43-29009

43-29009 was flown by Edwin I Clark Jr, Bail out due to fire, Laughton Manor Farm,

cant be 100% sure but if anyone can back up or correct me that would be great!

Humm. tripod pass… i got all the way round hendon including the battle of britain hall without a pass, i was just lining up the lightning when some “lovely polite” (grumpy) member of staff informed me i needed a pass, no-one else seemed to even care, numerous other staff including the front desk bothered to tell me i needed one. Checked the terms for photography the next time i went and on the web site and there is no mention of the requirement for the pass.

I vagely remember the mid 80’s at duxford with russavia (about the age of 4), and flying with mike in his tigermoth, definatly remember the rapide crash, 20 years ago. But there is photographs of me and aviation prior to all this!

It doesn’t seem to be common knowledge but you get 1 free sensor clean with every new Canon DSLR, up here in Scotland a company called Johnsons in Glasgow do it, otherwise it’s £37.50.

Canon center in london, offers the same ‘first clean’ offer if the camera is still under warentee, after that its £30 for the EOS XXX and £50 for the posh EOS XX and X’s (or atleast it was a month or two ago) on the plus side the canon center does the job in a day and its like a 5 miniute drive from the raf museum

Spotted on a webcam actually, Rob Davies P-51 Mustang ‘Big Beautiful Doll’ parked up at Headcorn aerodrome at the moment. Has anyone seen her fly in the past few days?

She flew today if it still counts, check the sywell thread for more pics

Look at the flaps, they appear to be lowered, (partially of fully?) supporting either a takeoff or landing crash rather than a mid-flight crash. Alos as Docstirling says the men have no legs, the ground is lower where they stand than the a/c came to rest, its hit an incline, dyke or ditch of some form!
