Bumping this one back up again.

Has anyone a history of operations flown by this aircraft? I would be most grateful if someone could come up with them.

[QUOTE=Good Vibs;2093920]Excellent.
Always nice to see whats left and how its displayed.
To know the actual/real serial numbers would be interesting of course.
Thanks

I wondered if the Chinook was “my” aircraft as I know it was turned over to the South Vietnamese.

As an ex pat who lived his formative years in the UK and who now lives in the US I found this series wonderful. I managed to find it on You Tube and throughly enjoyed it, British comedy at its best

His name does not appear in Oliver Clutton-Brock’s “Footprints On The Sands Of Time” which lists Bomber Command POWs. He is listed in this RAF POW prisoner list. http://www.rafcommands.com/Air%20Force%20PoWs/RAF%20POWs%20Query%20S_1.html

It is a shame you do not have a website or post updates here the same as Mathias Dorst in Germany. I cannot stand FaceBook myself but that is just me I would think

I couldn’t find it on facebook.

I have to agree with the idea of BBMF getting a third Hurri, although it would be nice if they didn’t have to sell anything in order to get hold of it. It would take deep pockets and a huge dollop of generosity, but it would be great to see one donated to the Flight. BBMF displaying without a Hurricane, as they sometimes have to, just doesn’t seem right.

A bit of a long shot I know, but you never know who’s reading this. 😀

I would like to see Lottery Money purchase one for the Memorial Flight.

[QUOTE=David Layne;1350985]

JA977 was lost near Metz between 23 and 24 september 1943, during a raid on Mannheim.

Interestingly, my father’s aircraft Lancaster JA 708 was lost on that same raid. I have no knowledge of where JA 708 crashed.

Not that it adds to this thread but I did find the wreckage of my father’s aircraft, you can read about it here. http://wallyswar.wordpress.com/crash-site-research/

Revisiting this thread with another picture of the aircraft’s recovery.

As this aircraft lost its right engine am I correct in presuming that the landing gear hydraulics would not have worked and the aircraft made a wheels up landing? Do the pictures substantiate this?
