“Daniel”/”Liberator”/”Sabredriver”,

David Cunndall is leading the recovery of the Spitfires, or what remains of them. Are you talking about someone else? A former member of this site used to post tempting snippets of mis-information/lies about fabled recoveries and surveys of the aircraft dumped from carriers at the end of the war off the coast of Australia but none of his stories amounted to more than a hill of beans or a 3350/Lewis Gun/Skyraider prop/Brewster Buffalo/Chinese Stirling.

One of my friends took part in dumping aeroplanes off HMS Victorious at the end of the war. I’ve no doubt it happened, but I doubt that anything of any worth has been recovered.

Oh great! Are there Spitfires buried in Zambia too?

Shhhh, you’ll have the newspapers making up stories.

“Canvas” covered pith helmet and “ain’t arf ot mum” shorts. A frightening image it has to be said…:eek:

That one was done years ago (well, March 2008)

BTW……Anyone seen Mark12 lately?

I believe he’s spending some time under canvas.

Be interesting to have a poke around that Spitfire!

For those who don’t know, IWM Lambeth is also the remaining parts of the origiinal ‘Bedlam’ Asylum.

It’s not the original Bedlam site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethlem_Royal_Hospital

Oh, you bunch of old cynics. Don’t you realise that sticking a tupperware 109 on the back of a lorry is an historically significant event?

The calendar’s out of date too.
