    Yep… remember those discussions way back when the forum was transferred from a text-based to database? Too bad the one person i can remember to have absolutely blind faith in a database-system no longer visits these boards.

    It probably has to do with the size of the database getting too big. So much data, so little disc space and bandwith.

    I always liked the old soul stuff in my days of love and hapiness. Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, stuff like that. And ‘Born Slippy’ was somehow a very romantic one, but that had probably more to do with a shared experience than with the song itself.

    And the totally corny theme music from ‘True Romance’ somehow always makes me melt too. But that’s just happy nostalgia from a bitter man, i guess.

    So Keanu Reeves doesn’t reveal he is actually still Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and or Bill and Ted’s Bugus Journey?

    So Bill S. Preston ‘Esquire’ doesn’t show up either?

    He doesn’t get back to the highschool at San Dimas in the end?

    Like, total bummer, dude!

    According to the Scramble database, in Zimbabwe at least two more should survive. One is unknown, the other 3614 with c/n PAC/F/285 and most likely ex-RRAF 314.

    Im sure you know you can find your Pembrokes at http://www.oldprops.f9.co.uk/Percival%20Prince%20census.htm on which i have one slight correction, as the Belgian RM7 should be at Molenheide and not at Melsbroek.

    Also, of the German ones you should remember that CA+025 (P66/1009) went to the Sudanese AF as HS211 at some point. Perhaps it will be found some day, who knows.

    If it’s indeed true, then i surely welcome your rescue! XV408 is one of the familiar Wildenrath-ones, and one of the two which were painted in a very nice shade of blue. The other one, XT899, is now slowly fading at the Kbely museum near Prague. It would be great if you could save this former 92sqn bird from a gruesome fate…

    There is a former Zimbabwean AF Provost preserved in the Datang Shan-museum north of Beijing. It’s inside the mountain hangar, so it’s almost impossible to make a decent picture because the light is crap there.

    It’s a Provost T.52, serial 3605, c/n PAC/5/358, ex WV851, ex RRAF305 (when still flying for a country called Rhodesia of course).

    Uhmm… did aeroplanes in those days get transferred from one squadron to another as well? If that’s the case (and i can’t see why it isn’t), i think it would be impossible to find a reliable cross-reference for serials/codes.

    Even such lists for current or recently retired types contain plenty of mistakes, let alone lists from a day when there were better things to do than make papers match.
