    A “twin engined” bomber came down a mile or so Southwest of Southend pier on Monday 3rd February 1941, however it being a mile from the pier would put it slap bang in the middle of the deep water channel so the chances of it being this one are slim as the recovery of an engine would be more or less imposible.

    The number of aircraft that came down in the Thames Estuary is quite high from Spitfires & Hurricane to Bf109,s to 110’s and He111’s even a Boston or two!

    Nothing wrong with them, thats the big big problem with Sunderland the flightline is far too far out,

    Just think what I would have got with my 3mpx 4x zoom pocket camera! they would all look like fleas in the sky sadly not flying fleas!

    I don’t believe it is either, Peter.

    I may be wrong, but I believe the Fescalised portions of 426’s jacks and Liquid Springs are liberally coated in Mobilgrease 22, to prevent such corrosion.

    Flipflopman

    Spot on that man, a nice coating of 22, its a quick simple way to prevent corrosion it may not look pretty but I would rather that than have to treat any corrosion

    rember fokes that there will be another open day on Sunday 2nd September please come down, we were treated to a flypast of the Essex Police EC135 and a Fennic sadly both took us by supprize the Fennic was superb low fast and banking…

    Its a fund raising day to carry out major renovation work to bring the aircraft up to a tip top condition go along and pay them a visit for the full details you will also be able to see the restoration work in process with two of the rear seats removed.

    there was an interview on the radio at 1:00pm about it.
