Frustrated barely covers it particularly as I can see the pictures both on the original post and on the second one on my computer. I have deleted and reposted the pictures into my Southend 1980’s album twice now. Tried using the link symbol and the image symbol and cut and pasted the URL’s from the album page each time.
Someone somewhere doesn’t want me to post these pictures so if anyone really wants to see them they are (in theory – at least!) in the 1980’s Southend album on my personal page.
I had pictures to post on other threads as well but I don’t feel inclined to run the risk of all these problems again at present.
Thanks anyway to Avion Ancien and all those others who have tried to help.

Should be 2 pictures of G-APOD above per my earlier post. If they still aren’t showing please would someone let me know.
Thanks

Obviously not my day. Maybe I should have stuck to pens and paper like we had at school.
I have tried again but posted links rather than images this time so hopefully it is OK now.

Thanks Newforest. I have been back to the instructions for posting images and had another go. The image urls show on the posting when I go into edit so hopefully there should be 2 photos visible on the post now – do you ever get the feeling that maybe you should have just gone on by and not got involved in a thread?

They show up OK when I view the thread. Has anyone else had problems viewing them please?

Assuming that it all happens that is really good news.

In the 70’s there was talk at the Southend museum of glider fuselages buried in a former gravel or sand pit in Rochford, Essex. The site was allegedly near a footpath close to the Horse and Groom pub in Rochford.
At that time the idea of pulling large bits of aeroplane out of a hole in the ground and having any chance of restoring them to displayable condition wasn’t generally regarded as being a viable proposition and we already had more than enough on our hands trying to get the museum aircraft ready for opening day so I don’t think the story was investigated any further.

The Anson in the 1st photo in the collecting aeroplanes gallery is G-ALIH, the original Ecko Anson so it is possible that the photo was taken at Southend. When collected for Newark she had been sitting on the dump for a while after being replaced by G-AGPG.
After she was destroyed in an attack by vandals the Newark replacement G-AVVO/VL348 also came from Southend as at that time the Southend museum was in danger of being overrun by Ansons – at one point they had acquired 3 of them!
