Very interesting,did I see a ME-109 with a two bladed prop?

“Kipper fleet” or Coastal command!!

Thai air force museum D[ATTACH=CONFIG]234017[/ATTACH]ec 5th 2014.

I went there in September 1964!My part in Sukarnos demise!Worked on the transit aircraft flight ,24hrs on and 48hrs off what a holiday !!RAAF had lots of Sabres then some canberras and DC-3 s.Used to get a twice a week RNZAF Bristol vibrator and lots of odd American types .Also handled the first 707 I had ever seen ,full of Ghurka recruits going to Ipoh for jungle training.Transit flight also had a 20mmm Oerlikon gun for “defence”!!It had to be manned at dawn and dusk!!No training or anything just put the ammo drum on pull a lever and theres the trigger !!

Depends upon the salinity and temperature of the water.The visibility was excellent for 75 metres so possibly the structure is in good shape.I have dived on an aircraft wreck that crashed in 73 and this was twenty years after ,only 40 metres and it was completely covered by corals and corroded in places.

Saw them in the M.U. at Khormaksar in 1961 ,being fitted with .303 machine guns.

Theres always the “Hat museum” in near bye Stockport!!
