    Can tourists aviod paying VAT on items they take home?

    Tourists from Non EU states can claim back VAT, the majority of stores will have the relevant forms (ask first before making purchase), there is usually a VAT claim box at the point of departure where you deposit the form, you can also have the money credited to your credit card or BACS to your bank account. Living in the Channel Islands, I quite often claim back my VAT. On my 1DS Mk3 I saved over £1,000 with the price difference between here and the UK and also claiming back the VAT.

    Hi, Matt.
    and of course liverpool was the most bombed place in the uk outside of London a fact that most people don’t beleave because they think it was Coventry.

    I was under the impression that this distinction went to Hull ?

    The engine sounds rough on approach and appears to belch out black smoke at one point.

    The Spitfire was captured on British soil, 11 November 1942.

    No idea why I remember that fact :rolleyes:

    Bristol Mumbai – no, doesn’t sound right, does it. Lovely aeroplane, though!

    Another case of British industry being out sourced to Asia :rolleyes: 🙂

    Pity they didn’t scrap the Nativity rubbish and give more air time to DIG1940.

    Hi Ian

    I had forgotten about a few of those, even though they were only based at them for such a short time. I had been thinking more of Warmell which I didn’t get to see ‘sigh!’ and Matlaske which I did on another cold, drizzly and windy day.

    Hi Paul

    Not much to see at Warmwell these days, the majority of it has been quarried. Though there is a memorial in the village to those who lost their lives flying from the airfield.

    Mark I’m pretty sure of the second one, all the shots of 597 at Hednesford show it with the three exhaust stacks per side.

    Apart from Manston I think it is the only significantly complete airfield left from which the Whirlwind flew.

    Paul

    What about :-

    RAF Exeter – Devon

    RAF Filton – Bristol

    RAF Colerne – Wiltshire

    RAF Fairwood Common – Glamorgan

    RAF Predannack – Cornwall

    ???
