Vested interests
I have used the airport on and off since 1978 when it wa still a wooden hut and watched it rebuilt to its present day state.I have read the other forums views for the last couple of years on the closure and SHHs protests that this would not happen !Another classic case of Plymouth councils inemptitude in serving the city (HMS Plymouth another example).I guess that the only thing to do is to get enough people in the planning application meeting to get it rejected but palms will be greased and the Plymouth mafia will win in the end.

Slow fly by
There was a Soviet type that used to overfly RAF Muharaq(Bahrein)same time every day and very slowly so all the lower ranks would drop shorts and moon it as it flew over!Perhaps somewhere the photos still exist!!
Reading on here about the Dartmoor wrecks in a bog,there would appear to be a lot of interested parties who would like to attempt to find them.As the terrain does not seem amenable to standard transport could not a small hovercraf do a search with underground radar?I am sure it would not cost a fortune to hire one or get sponsors,after all it is a WW2 icon most of us want to see!!Maybe even the marines would assist/!!Thier just down the road in Plymouth!!!
parachutes
As groundcrew I recall being issued with a chute for going on exersise to Sri Lanka (1961),these were immediatley consigned to panniers and put in the bomb bay!!
pasengers
whats special about council estates?I lived on one or two ,before ryanair was going mind you.
Location
I took this about 1970ish and as far as I remember it was taken in a museum in Lytham St Annes near Blackpool,I will search for other pictures !!
Shack
Is this a MK 3 ?No chance it would end up in the “Cold war museum “at Cosford?
6000Meters
I may be wrong but 6000 metres would make an external pressure of 600bar or approximatly 4 tons per sq inch.How thick a hull would you need for that!!!!!
More propaganda!!
This looks like a pale imitation of an american tear jerker!!

BBC programmes
Lots of programmes I would love to have seen but living abroad I cannot get them.Is there anyone out there who records these programmes?I would pay if someone would burn them to CD?
Button
If you look closely you will see that the button has a crescent with a star within,now as I bought it in Cairo I suspect it could be Egyptian air force from King Farouks days.
Acme whistles are still made and if you google them they have an interesting history!!!!
Obits
I usually read the Obituarys in the “Telegraph”each day and there are so many heroes to read about and the brave deeds they did,I recommend it to all of you.Eileen Nearne was captured by the Gestapo and tortured but never gave anything away,after she was sent to a concentration camp.
