Steve,

IIRC there was an article in FlyPast in the early eighties. I believe the
article was called: the search for Sylvia Scarlet.

Thanks to all for your kind comments!

LOL! Could be Stuart – it seems everyone needs a concrete bog roll in their life ! 🙂 🙂

Twotter spot on, we didnt think we could cut the mustard with the big boys (our exhibition cost £50 vs the runner up which with HLF had six figures to play with!) but perhaps we can…:o

coming back to Sywell we were treated to a stonking Spit display by Peter Teichmann – simply a perfect evening!

Congratulations Ben,

It’s not the amount of money spent on it but the sheer dedication, enthusiasm and effort of volunteers that make the difference.

Displays where a lot of money has been spent are usually sterile
and cold.

Cheers

Peter,

Salt + shallow depth = 🙁

But it would be nice to see what’s left. Same goes for the wreck of Stirling
EF311 in the Channel.

Cheers

Thanks guys,

To set the record straight though. This seat is being made by a friend of mine who is a metalwizard for KLM. He has forgotten more about metalforming
than I will ever learn:p
I am still learning the easy bits, but getting there.

Yes, it’s on an 21 year loan IIRC. When the Do-24 was on display at Hendon there was a lot of flap about it’s presence there. Wasted space etc. The Do-24 was originally designed after a Dutch specification. I don’t think that the Do-24 was used during the Battle of Britain but the Heinkel 159 was.

Personally I think a Do-24 at Hendon is a waste of space indeed:cool:
But it’s still Hendon’s property so who knows.

But I am biased of course:D

five Halifaxes ( a Mk I, a MK II, a II series IA, a Mk III and a MK VI)

Oh naughty me:cool:

Neil,

Use the searchoption and look for the cockpit project’s thread.
I have a brake relay in a similar condition as yours and came from a
dig.

Cheers

That rules out the B-17 as well then. Also not Stirling, the spartubes are of round section. Very interesting, the partrumbers are crucial now for identification.

Cheers
