As well as lots of Police we have the largest Police Station in Europe.

Recently a shop was under attack, sort of mini riot, and the shop front was being pushed in.

Guess what. The largest Police station in Europe was about 100 yards away but couldn’t produce a policeman, we had to dial 999.

Hi Twin Otter

According to the same source as my previous post, it appears that the Air Historical Branch (AHB) captured aircraft spent time at Fulbeck from 1958 onwards before being transferred to Biggin Hill. This included the He111H-20, Bf109G-2/trop “Black 6” Fw190F-8/U1, Ju87D-5 and Fiat CR42 currently on display at the RAF Museum and the Me410A-1 and Fi156C-7 on display at Cosford.

I used to wander round the hangar at Biggin Hill that was used to store the AHB aircraft. The Bf109 was an E version. I took lots of photos but they’ve long since been lost. I might have one of the He111 outside at an air display but no idea where that is beyond it’s here somewhere. The Stuka definitely wasn’t there because I remember being aggrieved about it and I don’t recall the Storch. The Me110 now at Hendon was there though and a V2. All the guns were stored in the station armoury.

BLOWN UP !

As far as I’m aware all the remaining TSR2 items on Foulness and Pendine were scrapped by Hanningfield Metals and they shredded the lot. They refused point blank to let anyone have any bits which to me points to an order from MoD. Hanningfields were normally very helpful to museums and collectors.

There was a rumour that when the contents of Quedgely were sold that the parts to make a complete TSR2 were bought by a very wealthy collector

Then there’s this

eBay don’t sell anything at all except for advertising space. If ebay weren’t there, there would be something else similar, I am sure.

OK they aren’t selling. But they are facilitating selling and taking commission. If fraud- and that is what it is- is being committed by sellers on a regular basis and ebay choose to continue to permit the sellers to use ebay even though they have been informed that fraud is taking place then the commission becomes a proceed of crime.

When ebay were threatened with legal action by some very heavy lawyers representing major brand names they caved in.

I would love to have an indicator unit from AI Mk 10 (SCR720)

As with many of the other items on here, I might have them but I need a photo or good drawing before I start burrowing in boxes to see if what I have is the same or just similar.
