Hi All,
TomcatViP
With the your post (2209) indicating Italy’s financial input “so much money it cannot afford to pull out now” Could it be said this is what the
manufacturers were hoping for with each partner saying the same so as to keep the programme going to produce more aircraft way back when ?

Hi All,

Hi All,
I thought I was hearing things the other day when they said in a video about the rolling landing. Doesn’t that defeat the object of having
a vertical landing capable aircraft especially this supposedly superior ‘Harriers’ replacement ? If they are now considering using this tactic in
recovering the aircraft shouldn’t they have just stuck with a navalised version of whatever aircraft instead of the expense of these supposedly
all singing and dancing wonder weapons ?

Hi All,
Apologies to all and thank you ‘Peter‘ I have now amended the post, I did actually wonder whether or not you would comment with using your
photo, when I downloaded it 😀 It was not long after it had been placed at ‘Skysport’ didn’t they arrange the ‘Hampden’ in that photo so the ‘RAFM’
could assess it before restoration ? Anyway just a good couple of memories related to ‘Jim Pearce’ that I will never forget.
Geoff.
Hi All,
I can only repeat what many have said on here already about his passing and offer my deepest condolence’s to his family and friends that this man
had made in his lifetime. RIP Sir.
My two most memorable of his recoveries that I viewed were both aircraft I have always liked simply because of my love of ‘Airfix’ 1/72 kits FW-189 and
the ‘Popeye-Hampden’. I viewed the FW189 as many did at the ‘Biggin Hill’ air show and got a 6ollocking into the process, after shaking his hand I
asked the pilot ‘Lothar Mothes-RIP’ to sign a small digital composed picture that I purchased for me when somebody took exception to it and nearly
had a cardiac informing I was not meant to, finding out in the process it was only meant to be for the Ltd Ed print featuring his aircraft available.
The second was being an HGV driver I got around quite a bit and while in ‘Bedfordshire’ area delivering I popped into ‘Skysports Engineering’
over at ‘Hatch’, just on the off chance of having a look at the recently recovered ‘Hampden’ spread out where it had been deposited of which I was
duly granted permission and a peek into the small hanger/workshop into the bargain.
Thank you Mr Pearce,
Geoff.
Hi All,
The man done good!….:applause:

Hi All,
One of the few – Maybe both ’54 and 74 Sqns’ had spits in for repair at the same time and the ’54 Sqn’ needed a replacement more urgently
so they received another that was awaiting collection ?
Geoff.
Hi All,
It’s easy to forget when marvelling at the B-2 today it has been in service for just over 20yrs and they have already retired the Nighthawks.
Geoff.
Hi All,
JohnTerral – Many thanks for posting the video excellent sound and that missing man just shows how agile a big aircraft the B-29 was….:eagerness:
Geoff.
Hi All,
Bruce – I was thinking along the lines of ‘Glyn Powell or TPM’ getting their hands on it or is what you described basically it’s death sentence
on it ? I would have thought with ‘Glyn and Avspecs’ expertise it would be in a better shape than most and a prime candidate if the owner could
let it go before it dilapidates any further…:confused:
Geoff.
