    Came across this on the same site, can’t say I’ve seen it before. Would this be MH434 ?

    I think “a tedium of anoraks” is the correct phrase 🙂

    Thank you, I stand corrected. 😉

    Even Rolls-Royce don’t have any… I think Kestrels are a no go as well.

    Yes they do, one is on display in Derby, though I do believe it is one of Mr Vizards engines on loan to the exhibition.

    Some footage of PA474 was used in “Force 10 from Navarone”.

    The airfield scene from Force 10 from Navarone was filmed here in Jersey, and in fact actually no where near an airfield.

    Can anybody possibly download a still from a DVD of Operation Crossbow for discussion?

    Mark I’ll see what I can do !!!

    Very nice shots, particularly like the one of PM631 over the north coast of Jersey.

    Thanks for posting this MrBS, interesting insight to the AM view of the Whirlwind and its development, especially it’s view on the use of Merlins over the Pereguine.

    *Applause*

    Are you implying Snappers got the clap ?

    Personally the aircraft are second to meeting the veterans, such as the 609 Sqn guys who will hopefully be in attendance. The aircraft will be there for us to view in years to come, the veterans are getting fewer by the day, and lets face it with out these guys the aircraft would be nothing.

    Legends is a great spectacle, and I will be there on the Saturday, however the huge audience does not make it an all-out pleasure, I do prefer the more intimate shows like Chailey or as I envisage OW to be.

    I seem to remember seing something in a modelling magasine that showed a Mossie being converted to carry 2 Highballs. Im guessing thats wrong there and they only carried 1.

    Do an “easy” quick scan of the intraweb and I think you’ll find that a Mosquito could be adapted to carry two

    A still taken from an official film of Highball tests and this is a scan taken from Allied Secret Weapons a Purnell’s History of the World Wars Special – Phoebus – 1975 – (No ISBN) and credited to: Vickers Ltd.

    Lancs at low level fighting off the 109,s

    I was in contact with one of the survivors, Bert Dowty, he sadly died a little while ago. From his account there was very little fighting off the 109’s, they basically shot the Lancasters to bits. He and his crew were lucky to escape the crash landing and made their way to Vichy France where they were captured and turned over to the authorities.

    Right up until his death Bert would return to Beaumont le Roger to pay his respects to the two crews (his friends) who are interred there. On the 60th anniversary of the raid the town turned out in strength to honour the men who had fallen all those years before, it was a very emmotional event, at which I had the honour of laying a wreath on behalf of the people of Jersey.

    44 (Rhodisia) Sqn was unique in having 2 VC holders on strength at one time.

    I’ve seen (genuine) footage of bouncing bombs being dropped by a Mosquito.

    Of course that may be footage of the Highball tests.

    Hopefully we be able to hold the annual Legends Red Lion raffle on the Saturday evening, the majority of the prizes being avaition related books dvd’s etc. Any other items would be welcome and can be past to me on the Saturday evening at the Red Lion.

    We are open to other suggestions, however at the moment this years funds will go to help maintain the Grace Spitfire. In the past we have held raffles to support Merlins Over Malta and the Mark Hannah Burns Trust.
