any news on WL627?
there is a complete V2 rocket at grave camp near nijmegen in holland its been rebuilt to a good standard and its been done in a cut-away fashion like a haynes manual, quite fascinating as ive never seen one before till then.
hope it goes well didnt think i would see it again
ive read mine and replied to it, didnt you get it?
im impressed, i didnt know the level of concern about it issue, you have my support how can i help?
what a mess! what happened to it? last time i saw this it was a complete airframe, engines?
sorry but someone else mentioned it here mite start a new thread sorry for the confusion what was that about civil servants?
yes you are right its a gate guardian for a TA engineer unit that specialises in airfield support next to chetwynd bin past it a few times
its a small world, still unanswered questions though keep me posted photos would be cool
driffield is now driver training. ive bin round it, slept there, ran round it, crawled over it, drove over it.
All i can say is this- driffield is yorkshire heritage, people died there, aircraft flew from there it was part of the local economy, it stands dormant like some old aircraft waiting to come alive. To demolish it is a knife in the back of all who served and died there. only to be replaced by cheaply built expensive naff houses for some first time buyer who doesnt know much about what was there. Is this progress? is this right? is this fair? look what happened to sutton on hull! its now replaced by the worst council estate in england
This would make an excelent aviation heritage site and all because some whitehall bean counter cant be bothered to say yes to keeping it we all have to suffer, because we are in a small group of people that gets ignored.
im sick of hearing lame excuses about who is consulting who, its red tape bu*****t trust me i know im a civil servant, just give the base to the council and let the people who care about aviation history decide before we lose somthing else or is cutting a cow in half more important?
do any of these survive and why where they painted white?
RAF cut running costs by replacing trained ground crew with chavs
amazing stuff this invisible paint i wonder if i can paint my missus with it
