    OMG who would possibly think of blowing anything of that quality up?! That’s insane! Yes, by all means make the phone lines hum and call every museum that you can, it deserves a nice home!

    The version I have he replaces the jug and rides away but the intro where he found it is cut…who knows how many versions there may be out there… I agree with Dan, it was the catalyst for why he went to the field in the first place so it really was stupid to ever cut the opening from ANY version.

    BTW, I’ve failed to mention that, on the whole I am not the biggest movie fan but Twelve O’ Clock High is one of the few I watch on a fairly frequent basis and, even though I have it on video tape, I still will stop and watch it anytime I catch it on TV. While it may be full of historical inaccuracies and the scenes weren’t shot where it all really happened I still think it captures at least some of the atmosphere…

    If I’m not mistaken wasn’t the original opening sequence of the movie Stovall finding the “Masked Toby” mug in a junk shop (I’ve seen stills of this scene) and this was later cut, the resulting new opening now being the adjutant riding up to the field post-war on a bicycle?

    The last time I saw the movie the original opening was cut so I guess all I have ever seen is the American version…

    I also remember years ago there were reproductions of the Masked Toby mug floating around but they were uberexpensive.

    EDIT: Yep, I found one, still way out of my price range:

    My condolences as well, Pete. Sadly I fear we may never see the likes of your father, and the people who fought in history’s greatest conflict, again.

    Thanks, Martin.

    Capt. Pollock’s daughters were gracious enough to send me that photo and they were very interested in finding out what happened to their father’s old Mustang. They were shocked it is still around. He sold the plane to a Mickey Rupp when something expensive needed to be replaced.

    Wow, the paint scheme shown in the 1966 Biggins Hill photo sure bears more than a striking resemblance to N6300T (44-73163) during the period that former 79th. Fighter Squadron pilot Robert Pollock owned (1965-1966), any connection between them? :confused:

    Martin do you have any photos of N6300T from the mid-60s?

    I, for one am VERY interested in seeing more!

    I can just hear my girlfriend behind me now, as we into a storeroom like that… “No, you can’t bring any of it home with you, so don’t even think about it!” 😀

    But honeyyyyyyy….. 😉

    I may be wrong but I was under the impression that he was forbidden to race the 262 against US jets of the era for fear it might outhine them…
