a cessna 150 aerobat did not get enought speen to get out of heathrow!

What was the B17 that crashed during the filming of Memphis Belle?

I think its that whistle/humm noise that you hear as she fly’s in at you.

Not aircraft related:

Back in the lates 80’s early 90’s a wooden box was wahed up on a beach near Southend it had been damaged and burst open, a large number of stick like thing fell out on to the mud, kids were picking them up and throwing them arround and at EACH other, one thought he would luzz one at the near by sea wall as hard as he could…

…BANG…and a small ball of fire was seen, next thing you hears was BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG…and so on.

These banging sticks turned out to be fosprous sticks that had fallen from the wreck of the Liberty Ship the USS Richard Montgomery munitions ship laying a few miles off Southend.

It did not take long for Police & Military Police to arrive on the scene and give the kids a strong talking too…

I have been reseaching the Southend Museum for a few years, The Drover was bought in by road from Liverpool I beleve it had been damaged during transit from down under,

I would love the aircraft to still be arround in 5 years but looking at the photos on here its looking less & less likely.:(

is it the Fw189 the last of its type some group is putting together?

Was this not the aircraft that the RNHF got back into the air before?

last time I saw one fly was the Southend Airshow in 1997.

be nice to see one again, lets hope for a Sea Hawk-Sea Vixen fly past!
