The one that was a hit was by The Royal Guardsmen but I think there was another version as well.
I was a mile out. I thought the fin/rudder shape looked a bit DC3-ish so I was looking for something by Douglas.
As Steve’s already said, it’s the Hemel one.
Fairly nerve-wracking the first time you use it but, strangely, it does seem to work.
As I now live “oop north” I haven’t been near it in years. Can’t say I miss it.
Googling to see if I could find anything about this, I came up with this:

It’s about the need for watches during WW2, and, I thought, quite interesting in it’s own right.
It doesn’t prove anything, but it does suggest there were flights. On the other hand it also suggests the Swedish flights were approved which according to everything I’ve ever heard, they weren’t.
I have a fairly extensive library, some bought new (mostly presents), some second-hand and many remaindered.
The Putnam series are great but they’re fearsomely expensive, even second-hand generally speaking.
I keep a beady eye on Ebay these days. I’ve picked up four in the last few months at reasonable prices.
Daz’s Corgi thread seems to have been hijacked. Sorry.
There’s definitely something about old/disused airfields.
Well done Steve, you’ve caught the atmosphere there well.
Brings back memories of prowling around Suffolk, 20 odd years ago, armed with Action Stations.
It’s not exciting or special, but I really like the first shot.
The last one of the first set is far too artistic. You’ll start upsetting the regulars.
Keep ’em coming.
I want one, I want one…
Just the Mustang filter to go.
Another Luddite here. I’ve got a 3 megapixel point, zoom and shoot but I’ve also still got a stack of Olympus OM bodies and lenses.
To replace them with anything approaching their capabilities would cost far more loot than I’ve got, or would be prepared to part with if I had got it.
Similar to Ad-aware, Rob, but I use both. They are complementary, each finds bits the other doesn’t.
Another link. Free (really) anti-virus software available here:

Brilliant, Steve.
I really enjoyed reading that.
In similar vein, to help repair all the problems that IE and OE cause, I highly recommend Spybot:

It’s free, if you want it to be, and you’ll be amazed how many things it finds that shouldn’t be there.
A tip, don’t use advanced, use easy mode. I do, and I repair, build and drive PCs for a living. With varying degrees of success, I might add.
I agree, Firefox is very good. They don’t think it’s finished yet, current release is 0.8 but I’ve found no problems.
Their Thunderbird email client looks promising too. Anything’s got to be more secure than Outlook Express.
I’m pretty sure that the Americans manufactured a version of the Sapphire engine however. so that may offer some hope.
Wright bought a licence for the Sapphire. However, apart from Americanising it, they also totally re-designed it. I doubt they would fit easily.
