    Hi,

    Hi, thanks for your help, I’ll look into it, the patch question was just an afterthought………..

    I’d much rather see photos and hear from those who visited Norway with Harrier detachments like these from John Aeroclub a while back!

    Yep, probably RPM, but Iv’e seen them on older target tow aircraft for the indicator that shows how many feet of cable has been let out.

    cheers,

    Thanks Tony I might give him a try.

    I really only collect period stuff to do with Harriers (some WW2 items also)

    The main road is on the other side of the blue railings. The planes face the road. If you have Google Earth, you can see how they are orientated.

    Tony

    Thanks Tony,

    I can see that the aircraft face the main road but isn’t that a road of some kind just behind/under the tail of the Hurricane?

    cheers,

    Hi,

    The rear end of the Hurricane looks pretty close to the road, how long do you think it will be before it is put into a flat spin by a passing lorry?:D

    By the way, the miss-match on the Spitfire was meant to represent all them Spits that flew with parts from other aircraft during the B of B!;)

    Apart from the paint, both ‘aircraft’ look pretty good!

    cheers,

    Hi Bill,

    it’s an overcast 17th mai morning after a whole day of rain yesterday but the day is young and always interesting.

    I’ll take some new photos of the memorial site for you when I return the part within the next few weeks.

    cheers,

    -John

    That’s great news about the video, I hope to see it on NRK sometime soon. I have a friend at NRK and will ask if she can find out about it.

    Just a little news from me….. While driveing on a track near Sylling in november last year I spotted a bit of aircraft next to the track.

    http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b74/milorgman/Flight/Sunderlandpart01.jpg

    Closer inspection revealed ‘S25′ on the stainless bolt heads showing that it was indeed from Sunderland L2167, I was around 5 km from the memorial/’crash site’.
    It was getting dark and the snow was on the way so I’ve kept the part in my garage until now. Now that the snow has (finally) gone I’ll be takeing up the hill to the memorial site where it should be as soon as I have time.

    It’s pretty heavy but I have a frame from an ALICE pack that I can strap it to.

    cheers,

    -John

    Lovely photos of classic aircraft,

    I’m always a bit sad when I see an empty seat in a classic aircraft with all the enthusiasts looking up who would love a flight (I’m one of them)……… not much chance of a joyride here in Norway though (or a decent airshow for that matter):(

    cheers,
