T1940, as I have already told you, the cheque IS in the post !!!

It’s coming up to the last minute, I really want this item, but can’t remember my log in, could someone lend me theirs and I’ll pay them back from my Nigerian bank account ???

The second edition of the photographic book called “The Lady Be Good” by Richard Davis, who visited the wreck in December 1990 and June 1991, is now available.

Flying with 92 Squadron in Spitfire l N3194 (not a Hurricane as often published) when he was shot down in combat with Me110s.

Tangmere 1940 or Mark12 maybe able to shed some light on the exact location as they were involved in the recovery of another 92 Sqn Spitfire lost on the same day for Time Team.

I think I have some details of his assumed escape route in my files on Bernard Scheidhauer, I will see if I can find them.

Sky High, judging by his property, which is the heart shaped bit in the centre of this map, he was reasonably comfortable.

The place is quite unique, everything from the swimming pool to curtains and lights can be adjusted/controlled from a central control panel.

Flying A, I wouldn’t say he was a friend, an acquaintance and neighbour is probably a better description. I had the pleasure of photographing him racing his Lotus on several occasions.

Can you imagine if every single airframe that came to the end of its commercial usefulness was saved and put out to grass in a museum or parked in the corner of a field somewhere. The country would be littered with redundant rotting fuselages dissolving slowly into the ground and the museums would all be filled with exactly the same types making them uninteresting and therefore financially unviable.

At the end of the day this airframe is a derelict aerobus, as common as an Essex Blonde and worth more as scrap. Save the first one and last one as museum pieces, yes, but stop bleating about every single one being saved that’s just ridiculous.

Miles Mohawk ??

I’ll get my coat……

After Lindberg finished with it, it was used by the RAF,

Would you like a hand getting it on ? 🙂

Dove on the dump at Bristol Lulsgate. Taken in 2003.

Slight difference to my long shot of it possibly 20 years before.
