    The Black Cat Pby,s did the same thing with beer bottles in the PTO.The aussie P40 pilots used to use primative napalm.The first one dropped a full drop tank and the one following it would strafe it with incendiary rounds.Nice little flare up they reckoned.

    Wow it really looks like you have your head screwed on right Ali.Maybe you need to do up a website that records all the major wrecks around the English isles.Something in the likes of Pacific Ghosts maybe.Keep up the good work mate.Really enjoying seeing this other side of the restoration bizz.

    “Remains at Gallipoli found in 2005 roadworks were fragmentary and -according to the Turkish authorities- may not have been human at all.” Oh my God..They found Simpsons Donkey!!!!!!!!!!The travesty of it all. 😮 :rolleyes:

    There is a good section at Spitfire spares.com which have all the Spitfire part numbers decyphered.I think a Warbird Almanac would be the way to go or a links page with links to all the good sites.Or all the info downloaded into an online database for us all to add to.Maybe WIKI would be the way to go.Works well with one of the flightsims I fly.

    Cheers Tom.Good to know that my memory isn,t all as bad as what I thought…Now what day is it?????Yep that doco had to be early with the amount of sideburns in it.First time I had ever seen Bader and Johnny Johnston in a doco.Their is a good one around called “Luftwaffe Aces” that has Steinhart and Hartman in it.You can still see the steely glint in their eyes.Legends all of them.

    Cheers guys.You can still see that sparkle in her eyes.Daz I too remember the story of the Erk who flew the spit.Flypast?????Had a little bit of training on the squadron hack,a captured Italian biplane I think before hand.Flew the spit to a nearby airfield to replace sparkplugs I think.Only read the first part of the story.
