Did a Sea Fury suffer the same fate recently? I seem to recall a news article just after Christmas but can’t remember the details.
[yes, this one]

The service 474 is undergoing, would that have been done to an operational Lanc? Or are these types of service exceptional due to the aircrafts age?
I was wondering how long this sort of thing would have taken for an operational Lancaster as comparison.

Listened to an interesting `Ted Talk` where they discussed conspiracy theories.
My favourite quote;
“You can tell a good conspiracy theory by the level of negativity. Why are there no positive conspiracy’s ?”
Quite correct if you think about it.
Of course, no one’s interested in positive things. Far too boring.

I tend to think like this.
All conspiracies are bunk because no government has the intelligence to concoct one that devious, cunning or interesting.
Heck, they can’t even keep their `duck houses` secret.

The last time I looked, the ‘seasonal variations’ were a consequence of the Earth’s tilt at twenty three and one half degrees. I take it that you mean that ‘seasonal variation’ and not variations to the established seasonal variation of which I’m unaware ?

All these variations sound to me like an Enigma.

Rogue One
If you are a Star Wars fan go see this film. If you are not don’t bother.
Starts slowly, builds to a predictable battle scene and brilliant ending.
Most things make no sense and characters are wooden, but the cameo’s, battles and ending are all worth it.
Brilliant film for Star Wars fans. Dull nonsense for the rest.
I loved it.

Hendon is one of the few aviation museums that can be got to by a child living in London.
I used to spend many happy weekends taking the tube from the Elephant and Castle down to Colindale to visit the museum.
I’m not sad the BoB hall is being replaced with something new as the old hall was very tired.
I am sad that the aircraft are being dispersed. They should remain as a collection.
Hendon itself has been somewhat neglected overall imho. The removal of the upstairs ww1 collections and the general moving around,
mucking about with exhibits. I do like some of the new additions.

Reminds me of the Manchester Football team disaster.
Thoughts for all involved.

Does it for me as well. Like the site has been hijacked by some kind of malicious software or virus.
