I believe the RR Heritage trust, and the Industrial Museum own a large peice of skinning with “Brabazon” written on it, well i think it says brabazon its been a few years since i went there,

I also remember I thinkthey had a wheel of sorts from it as well,

Hope you all had a eventful and fulfulling day.
Sadly could not come along,
as I was Brassic , as I got a load of goodies yesterday;)

A message to those in the Know, Thanks very very much for
your help yesterday , and ongoing support 🙂

I will be thinking of my family and friends who serve and have served during many of our conflicts,

God rest in Peace the dead, and protect the living,

Prey for those who are in harms way, and give the families hope and courage for those whos loved ones are in service doing a difficult job,far from home.

and for those injured let us all help them where we can,

I especailly will be thinking of my great Uncle Private W.H.Butland (Glos Reg)
KIA 24th June 1916(Somme) Poiziere,

and my Uncle R.J.Tucker ,Leading Seaman ,HMS Prince of Wales , (Prisoner of War ) Sumatra who died August 1945 of Bury Bury , malnutrition ,

and my friends and family who Have or are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan,
(No Names as they are Current Service Personel.)

and of course the many who suffer daily even many years later due to physical /Mental disabilities /illneses caused by war past and present

as I think All of this forum will, in there own individual way

It Niether has NOTHING to do with you at all merlinmadness,
I wont get into a slanging match. I just felt it was a worthy point to bring up, especailly when so much has been said to me in the past,

Personally I dont care about the spit, Never been keen on them anyway,
I am glad it is being restored, end of ,period,
Thanks

I have known a couple of the Severnside Aviation Society members for many years, and it seems they did’nt get a say in any of this ??, they were the first to find it ,so I have been told in the very early 1980s, and as such the SAS did investigate the site, Way before the PMR 1986 act was in place, from what i was told a member of the SAS sold up the collection when the group folded up, Much to the upset of the many members who had found many of those Items , and never got a say in the matter.
Personally I think it stinks, But that was many moons ago, and I expect water under the bridge now,

I was never a member of the SAS, but knew a couple of members very well, who were one of the main driving forces behind the group, I was a very young member of the SWARG, group, who used to visit places with SAS.

this issue is a very bitter pill to swallow, and I felt it so unfair on the SAS lads,

I dont doubt now I have caused a stir, Not intensional , But I feel compelled to say something about this and in Recognition of the great work compiled by the SAS and its members , as I know it did upset quite a few people, at the time,and I believe still does so .

Now I have said my piece, I expect to be “Swung from the Yard arm” , But it had to be said,

And so work has begun 🙁

its a very sad sight to see, I know we cant save em all, but I wonder how many office blocks and housing estates will be built on this one ,as with the others??

makes you wonder how many Actual Operational Air bases we have left, must be a 10th of the amount in ww2, or even less,

everything seems to be dwindling away, apart from the ever growing housing estates, and offices, ,Where’s the Industry gone ??, railways, air bases, Ports, ship yards, Farms etc etc, all Just a fraction of what they used to be,

who ever said “Progress ” is good 🙁

It’s television for grown ups. 😉

Very Aptly put Moggy :D:diablo:
