    Thanks James.

    Found your post very interesting. Being an ex-rigger I know nothing about ‘wiggly-amps’ but what you said makes absolute sense. They could have used your logical reasoning when writing ‘The Lost Prince – Young Joe the forgotten Kennedy’ and ‘Aphrodite: The Desperate Mission’.

    Regards

    Just had a look at my copies of ‘The Lost Prince – Young Joe the forgotten Kennedy’ by Hank Searls and ‘Aphrodite: The Desperate Mission’ by Jack Olsen and both do not give definitive answers. They put forward the solenoid overheating and static electricity theories and that a British jamming station had just activated which might have sent spirious signals to the controllers.
    Think that this is one of those mysteries that will remain just that.

    Those Aphrodite crews have my utmost respect for their bravery.

    Geoff,

    Many thanks for posting this. I thoroughly enjoyed the video and was amazed how cool the veteran was at the controls – like he’d never been away.

    Regards,

    Also not a facebookist so I guess i’m not allowed the pleasure of seeing this. However, I send my congratulations to Hawker Restorations and thanks for their dedication and craftsmanship in getting G-ROBT airborne.

    Must take myself down to specsavers. The BBC commentary on the flypast told me, more than once, that it was two Spitfires and a Hurricane I was watching. The BBC couldn’t have been wrong, being sticklers for accuracy and respect for the historical significance to our country of the aircraft we were looking at.
