In the Science Museum and almost impossible to photograph! Taken in January.

Thought it might be you, but I didn’t dare say so!
Quite nostalgic, but not really old enough – have you any videos from the mid-fifties? I remember Constellations and Stratocruisers, but the memories are fading . . .

I’ve seen worse videos!
Sounds like an excited small boy in the background.

I bought, built (myself) and lived in a wooden Swedish house in Stockholm for 8 years. In my opinion it was far better designed and constructed than any of the houses I previously owned in the UK. Temperatures in Stockholm can range from -30 to +30 degrees C and it can rain there too – no problems with damp or mould, the drainage and humidity protection were first class. Insulation throughout was 30 cm thick.
Although I now live in an apartment (so I don’t have to mow the grass any more) I would without any hesitation live in a wooden house built to Swedish standards again, if I could afford it!
And the stairs did have a hand rail!

At about the age of 7 or 8, around 1950 in a Miles Messenger during an RAF Waddington BoB air display. I sat in the back and could hardly see out, but will never forget Lincoln Cathedral seemingly loom large in the windcreen!
I lived on the base and my F/Sgt Dad sometimes let me go inside aircraft (e.g. Lincolns and Oxfords) in the hangar. We kids often wandered on to the airfield, especially to look at and talk to the novice pilots and their Tiger Moths. Unfortunately I was never offered a ride! Even a Mosquito turned up once, I remember!

Whilst you have directed your complaint to the management, there is no need to repeat it here!
Thank you for your praise, which is a little dampened by your reference to the other forum.
Occasionally there do appear posts on the various Key fora that I personally find alarming or disturbing, but it is easiest to just gloss over them.
In my opinion the moderators generally do a great job, and should be left to get on with it!

“There are no engines. There are no spares. There is no certification. There is no support from the manufacturer.”

BASpeedbird001, could you please give specific and detailed answers as to how exactly SCG intends to surmount these four problems?

Ollie, could you please add a link to your Memphis Belle web site on to your personal web site? It’s a nuisance to have to keep going back to post #1 on this thread to find it, and I would like more people to be able to see my photos of “the real Memphis Belle”. Perhaps you should also add a note that she has now been moved from Millington, Tennessee, where the photos were taken.

Yes, but the Sea Fury is not a jet!

JDK – it was the Channel Wing, and I am looking for it in my archives . . .
They are arranged by manufacturer, so my filing system is stumped!

The M.39B Libellula first flew on July 22, 1943 (one month and 4 days before I was born!)

Could that be squadron code HN “R”, serial DH571?
