Wish i had that in my logbook Melvyn 🙂 Bit more exotic than the gliders I’ve notched up in the past.

Great post and pictures.

I’d second the latter part of your statement Snapper. Whilst neither were perfect, this country has a lot to thank both Robin Cook and Mo Mowlem for. A loss of two grand people and certainly great politicians.

may have given you the book link there, not sure….

this one though ….

is the vhs tape link

Does anyone have a photo of the rear fuselage lifting bar in use, was there a particular type of shackle that connected to the ends of this bar.

Secondly I’m seeking a copy of a German film production entitled ‘The Undertakers Paradise’. This film featured shots of a replica 109G.

Advace thanks

Is this the replica which still survives (in fuselage if not complete form) at a collectors home/farm in the North York moors. Was featured in flypast several moons ago with a picture of BF109 replica outside in the yard.

More knowledgeable heads than mine will no doubt fill in the gaps.

MOTF, I’m sure we can all manage to follow the links 🙂 Great pics by the way.

Everyone knows what Kong is, though.

I don’t think that’ll be the finished article – if it was, the film would be out by now to cater for the summer audiences.

No, I think the finished item will do the original justice – at least it’s not a dude in a monkey suit!

Everyone knew what Godzilla was….yes….but…. if they had just shown glimpses then the audiences who had seen the trailer might have thought about how big this kong would be and what will the cgi be like and how is different and have some suspense built up. Instead we know what he will look like- utter rubbish, like cgi usually does when it is used in a central role (ie not to create the modern equivelant of a matte background of add extra background people which it does very well).

Personally im sick of modern mainstream films. I tend to stick to independant cinemas now because multiplexs tend to show films that cater for those with the attention span/mindset of a child.

I don’t really like remakes, there not a patch on the originals. I suppose the appearance of the T-Rex will have everyone on the edge of their seats.

thanks to the trailer it won’t be a surprise though.

It would seem that shy retiring Maurice Kirk has one in his farmyard in Wales.

My first recation was ‘Maurice who?’, a quick google to his website had me in stitches……:)
