if i may be so bold as to ask what may be a stupid question ….. if human remains have or are found and as andy says are with HM Coroner holding jurisdiction and thereafter with the MOD does this include remains of German aircrew or would that have to go to the German MOD ?
Totaly agree and what’s more in a crisp clear sky it looked even better as it flew away … good low pass to something we wont see in the UK by the BBMF Lancaster
Fantastic shots she does look good in the sun the last time i got to Duxford post injury was grey overcast and quite dismal with nothing moving these pages are the first port of call form so Thanks to all the contributors. So sitting here in a cold Holland with nothing to do i was playing with the idea of this little lot Killing time wouldn’t this lot all be good in one place commemorating something or other ! most i believe are either or about to be airworthy ? in 2014

The original SNAFU I have no idea which airfeild this was taken at or even if its original but seeing that she seems to have the appropreat markings must have been from Duxford

Charlie, maybe they are looking into a WWI event but it is worse for those aeroplanes with windy and wet. It maybe a clash with a big London do.
If there is any info regarding a London Event it would be good to share apparently there is something a foot regarding the spring show bank holiday and a London event for D Day but either nothing has been advertised yet or its nothing happening as i cant find anything regarding parades, flyovers etc etc would be good to know as some people need to arrange accommodation and time away ???
sorry if this do-sent all come out as im a borrowed i phone ?! but has DCW gone away or is there nothing significant happening at Duxford since Tuesday please ?
Yes i think she is based on the south coast some place but no longer masquerading as ‘old crow’
As im going away for Christmas and wont be able to post much easily but will log in each day thought i would pass this snippet of wisdom to all the Duxford fans……. its 4 Saturdays till Christmas eve & just 31 sleeps until Santa arrives or so i have been informed this morning but what’s even more important is its only 222 days until Legends 2014
So Merry Christmas to all XX
