    Wish I’d had the space to keep these beauties when the Shacks were scrapped

    Intended for a motor boat engine, Burghead 1980s – and no, none of them are still there!

    The foreigner’s voting agenda has nothing to do with the quality of the songs or the acts these days. No point in rooting for Dinky, I’m afraid…

    I’ve been amazed that our media portray the ‘Arab Spring’ as something positive – democracy in action. All that is happening is that their national stability and leadership is being replaced by Islamic fundamentalism, which will bite us in the a$$ bigtime in years to come.
    They seemed to be targeting headstones with the star of David on…

    I am generally against hanging aircraft but at least its kept the Spit with its original paint.To repaint her would be vandalism.Not too many aircraft left with their original WW2 paint.

    I totally agree – any artifact can only be original once!
    Great photos

    Somebody will be able to confirm, but looking through what I have it might be 43-38052, 366 BS/305 BG. Lost due to flak over Cologne on 17 Oct 44 with 7 killed, 2 POW.

    I may have got it wrong…but thats my deduction!

    Great image, though.

    After some stretching of the image, and playing around with the contrast, etc, (4)338052 does look like a candidate.
    Great photo Moggie…

    I’ve worked with captive wolves, but I’d never have guessed they would have wagged their tails too!
