🙁 I wouldn’t be quite so dismissive of the risks with 500 instruments, if many radioactive, in a living room. The total gamma could be considerable (do the arithmetic) and there is also possible dust and Radon ingestion to consider.

awesome 🙂

I have not been there but as far as I remember this one is looked after by the locals who have provided a boardwalk so that the wreck can be visited in situ in a marsh. I also seem to remember that parts were recovered by the Swedish Airforce ? but later returned to be displayed in situ and that the aircraft was set alight by the crew after the crash so the centre section is badly damaged.

XS488 apparently

It would probably be sensible to truncate this a bit to make a more manageable cockpit section.

According to my calculator that’s about 32000 tons of fuel. Was this for fuelling ships as well as aircraft? Seems a lot to use in 7 days.

The Black Buck missions had no real effect in the war in terms of the outcome .

This remains controversial, the same sort of thing has been said about the Dambusters raid. It is a fact that the Argentineans did not operate fast air out of Port Stanley after the raid on the airfield, furthermore the raids on the air defences must have given them pause for thought, not to mention the shock effect and the unspoken threat of attacks against the mainland.

… and you take full responsibility for everything that was published in it? I really don’t think you want to do that.

Congratulations on the acquisition, sounds like a big project.
