Andy,

Thanks for your honesty in describing how things were going on more than 30 years ago. As has been said, the way things were done then cannot be compared to how it is being done now (hindsight is a beautiful thing).

Also the trophy hunt (five recoveries in one weekend, you must have been very fit then:eek:) was something that was very much in fashion at the time.

From experience, regarding digging up wrecks (including human remains), basically it is just hard work reaching four metres or often even more, even when using a mechanical digger. With crashes like this the remains are just fragmentes, which you have to extract from tangled wreckage. The Time Team way is not very suitable as these recoveries nowadays are very costly (in Holland usually 300.000,00 euros or more).

This subject is very sensitive so we should all be very careful in our reactions.

Cheers

Hi Ken,

Do you know if anything of the Petlyakov Pe8 four-engined bomber survives anywhere?

Can we have the La-9 back please? There are some Yaks and Il-10’s in the UK but new on them is very scarce.

Any gen?

For what it’s worth,
I thoroughly enjoyed the programma and thought the two brothers were great in what they were doing. They obviously enjoyed themselves and were really interested. And it was not a Ewan McGregor show IMHO. The men of the BoB were the stars of the program.

Both seem to be true enthusiasts with Colin joining the RAF because of the men who fought during the BoB, Ewan also mentioned that he made the usual Airfix models etc.

Ewan seems to be a true and modest man (having seen his long way programmes and read both books). Don’t think the critisim is necessary regarding his flight in the two-seat Spit. If anyone of us on this forum would get the chance, it would be a bit crowded at the entrydoor.:D

My opinion only of course.

Would be nice to see it in formation with a Tempest II, that will be quite a sight.

they had the chance to make a noise and save TG536(berlin airlift survivor) which had languished on catterick fire dump for years,instead they ripped the wings off intending to use them for their Halifax,and in the end didnt,the Halifax at elvington has many sore points and has seen many contributors to its construction be overlooked whilst heaping praise on others,better prospect is the Victor at least its a live aircraft and tended to by a dedicated staff.Final point is TG536 would have made a more fitting aircraft to be preserved given its historical significance.

Your opinion only I take it?

Without the centre section of TG536, there would be no Halifax standing there and there would have been no chance for old-Halifax aircrew to relive memories
A bit harsh don’t you think?
But that is just my opinion mind you.

Derek, Bruce,

The BFP mountings were lying in a cardboard box, the only thing that would be required (provided a BFP is available in Trenton) are the three rubber/suspension mountings that are directly attached to the BFP. And the main instrumentpanel would need replacement as the cutout for the BFP would be needed.

Yes, i noticed that too, the mounting brackets are in a cardboard box but they had quite a bit of corrosion on them Perhaps that’s the reason.

Deryck, do you know?

Cees, I realised that you are still a bit jetlagged but it was Belleville you took the train to, not Orangeville.

Deryck,

Absolutely true:o, must be a Dutch thing (orange), I knew the name sounded unfamiliar when I typed it.
I did take one pic of the Arrow, although it is a fantastic replica and just looks to be a real aircraft, I am not into jets, but here is the pic. Hope you like it.

Cheers

Hi Pagen01

That would be no problem but in fact i didn’t take that many pics of NA337 apart from some detail shots of items that I needed more information about. She is very well represented on the net, that’s why I didn’t make any.
But here are some more.

Hi Mike,

Yes, we did go to Downsview to see the museum there and that was impressive as well. Nice to see FM104 (the other bomber) getting much needed attention, the Arrow replica was very impressive as well.
Also for the Labour Day airshow we saw a F4U Corsair landing over Lake Ontario, just in time as a few minutes later torretial rain came down upon us, must have been Hurricane Earl doing it’s bit.

Thanks chaps,

I have the Chaz Bowyer book as well as the other books available but I am looking for better information regarding the frames and stringers of the fuselage as well as the centresection of the fuselage where the WOP had his office.
