I’ll dig out picts!

Jack Malloch was also involved with Bill Armstrong and the whole Biafrian episode

I once brought the very badly damaged pilot’s side windscreen of 41-24485 Memphis Belle back for the Tower Museum at Bassingbourn, but the funniest event occurred a couple of years later when I air-freighted my BMW motorcycle by CP Air 74 out of Gatwick into Toronto….

At one stage we had THREE tickets issued…. Mr G M Simons, Mrs A Simons and Mr M Byke (I joke not!) but eventually the bike went into the hold on a pallet along with all our luggage, so my wife and I…. still in our motorcycle leathers effectively became walk-on passengers – but they would not let us put our crash-helmets in the hold with the bike, so we had to carry them on board…

Picture the scene – one 74 fully loaded taxies to the end of 08 LGW… just as Captain Speaking opens up the taps, two bikers down the back put their helmets on – nearly pax fill their pants, and CSM does her nut!!!

We had both lids removed from us ‘for safe keeping’ before landing!!!!

Oh well… cannot take a joke and all that!

I was under the impression that the Russians still had parts of Gary Powers’ U-2 wreckage, and that the Chinese/Vietmanese has wreckage of the Dragon Ladies they they shot down…

Any timings planned – or is it just ‘show up’?

Cannot say exactly yes/no atm, but I’ll certainly try and make Newark on the 8th

They look like flying wire pins…. but what aircraft?… no idea
