Yes a fascinating site, which has been extended since I last looked at it. My father joined the Barrage Balloons and I think did his training at Newport. I did a piece for the site here

The old memory cells are painfully clanking away.
The D.R. stands for distant reading.

Lovely job.

If there is a problem with it having metal wings why not class in as an Anson Mk9½

Ditto.

And ditto

I see the Mail online had a piece about the boss of the BBC congratulating his staff on their coverage of the events. His picture showed he had been too idle to shave for a few days, just shows the general sloppiness.

Just possibly a Dumbo

I believe all the Merlin 1XX series had fuel injection. A different procedure was needed in the event of a wet start. I vividly remember a night start in a Mosquito NF36 with the Merlin 113/4 engines. When the engine did not pick up fuel was being pumped through and collected in the exhaust shroud. Then of course the engine fired and set light to this pool of fuel. The book said, in that event, keep the engine running and the prop wash will blow the fire out 😮
It had to be the starboard engine and I sat there petrified as this blazing fuel ran back over the wing just outside my window. :(:o

You must realise that we all abide by the same EU rules. Our problem is that our wonderful civil servants (sic), to justify their massive salaries and platinum plated pensions, have to thoroughly gold plate these rules. It does stretch their days, saving them from the chop. Our dozy politicos have the wool pulled over their eyes both by Brussels and Whitehall.
