Could well be the same one, there cant be many still flying even back then.

Even Older Fart!

Got about 56 diffrent ones all very good in my view.

I’ll try and post a photo of the all lined up on my book case.

The bombs on the wreck would have been fused if these are fragmentation devices they will become unstable through time.

A detonation would be caused by its lead azide constituent reacting with water vapour (rather than liquid seawater) to form hydrazoic acid, it would react with copper in the detonating cap, to form extremely sensitive and unstable copper azide.

Any slight knock of movement in the device could cause the copper azide to explode, triggering an explosive chain reaction resulting in the detonation of the munitions.

The above is taken from a document I compiled on the Richard Montgomery I would guess the bombs would me made from much the same material.

No

Been at the fort all day filming, they turned the place into Afganistan for a new Docu drama coming out in Aug 07, and would you belive it Mr Teichman and his Spitfire came and circled the fort !
Cheers Pete it made ours and the crews day 🙂 🙂

Must have been the same one that made a stonking pass over Southend Airport this afternoon very nice roll, she headed off in the direction of the sea front.

I wonder if another reason for the sponsorship ending ,is that there will be another twin boom aircraft flying in Red Bulls colours, on the circuit soon and that they will have ownership of this one……..?

What aircraft is that then?

It is sad to report that the Shorts Belfast G-BEPS currently under going restoration at Southend has been damaged by the storms currently raging arround us.

The aircraft has been turned 90 degrees and suffred extensive damage to its rear loading ramp.

Hazard a guess Penine Sands
