Personally I’d love to see her go for a record run ;-D
To prove what, exactly?
It’s real. They used to have a Po-2 at the same museum, but threw it away after it literally fell to pieces after being left out in the Warsaw weather.
TS423, the Dakota now with Aces High perhaps?
I can’t see a link to your video MP, I’d love to see it. Camarillo is a nice little show, and the hangar dance in the CAF hangar on the Saturday night was great fun. The CAF wing thete are a really friendly bunch if folks. They generally get good support for the airshow from Planes of Fame at Chino too.
I rather lost the will to live several weeks into the last thread. Is Mr Cundall still grubbing about in the Burmese mud with his bucket and spade, or has the whole thing quietly petered out now?
Well, I can only think of one owner who has his aircraft registered in Jersey, and I can assure you that he is far from one of these “faceless companies (or individuals) that are never photographed with their piece(s) of history, and in many cases have little knowledge about them either” that you seem to dislike so much.
Perhaps you’re too busy advancing grassroots preservation by sitting in your cockpit section in your garage, dressed in a flying suit and bonedome and making aeroplane noises to entertain yourself.
Or maybe you’re just stereotyping…………
………the upper echelons, where the aeroplanes are owned by faceless companies (or individuals) that are never photographed with their piece(s) of history, and in many cases have little knowledge about them either………
Really? Most of the owners I know are far from faceless, and are extremely knowledgable about the history behind the airframes in their care. Perhaps you would like to give some examples to support your assertion.
I thought I’d get in quickly, faster than a speeding Bruce in fact, to add my apologies before the thread is closed and the opportunity is lost forever.
And I’ve no idea what this is all about either! 😮
Still airworthy, in South Africa

An earlier thread on the subject
Thanks go to Eric Presten for identifying it as a Mohawk MLV.
It looks as though this medal group was offered at auction back in 2002
http://www.dnw.co.uk/medals/auctionarchive/searchcataloguearchive/itemdetail.lasso?itemid=30943
In the auction description, the clasp is referred to as a copy. “1939-45 Star, copy clasp, Battle of Britain”
Presumably:
WALLER, Sgt. G. A. 149145 British. 29 Squadron
the whole fleet? As in…
I said “a veritable fleet”, not “the whole fleet”. Two Sea Furies, a Ryan STM, a Kreider-Reisner KR-31, a Laird LC-RW300 Speedwing, a Rearwin Speedster, a Stinson, plus probably a few others I’ve forgotten, all gathered up from various parts of the world and all I believe heading for the same collection as the Hurricane.
So sorry, obviously missed your point, which I apologize.:confused:
I thought his point was very clear; Bicester was never an operational Bomber Command base but a training airfield.
They’ve used the wrong shade of yellow, and that pattern spoon is incorrect for the period, not having come into service until 1957.
