Wow, that’s an impressive bit of thread resurrection! I shall watch that in the next day or so, Steve, thank you very much for posting it!
I have kept an eye on V7497 over the years – at one point I had a letter, via the good offices of a certain Andy Saunders, from one of the dig team with some photos and a tiny piece of her Form 700, but I haven’t found it since a house move (it’s in there…. somewhere!). I was amused to see, from the gateway into the field, that had crashed somewhere I’d been past many times.

Gotta admit that I’m doing the same, Stuart – after 20 years (I think I might actually have been here a bit longer than the data suggests, I think it’s counted from an update way back when), I’m damned if I’m going to abandon ship utterly while there’s still a little life.

The three surviving members of the Few are Flt Lt William Clark, 100, Wing Commander Paul Farnes, 101, and Flying Officer John Hemingway, 100.

Not working for me, sorry!
I believe that the PM function is back – have you tried PM’ing B17Man?
I’m assuming anything in the bushes at Enstone, where I think big lumps of the Bristol Freighter are still in a heap, has long since been either removed or has turned to Daz?
(unlikely to be helpful, I know, but who knows what ideas might come from stuff)
For a nation famed for their style, the French really have built some fugly aircraft, haven’t they?
That certainly beats having rusty lawnmowers in your shed! I am most impressed.
Fingers crossed it’s got what you need!
It seems to depend on the browser – it’s stationary on Firefox at home, but still moves with Chrome at w**k.
Just when I was thinking it was time to bog off elsewhere, we have new threads. Hmm, maybe I should hang around?
I don’t care what Dolfo used for his, this is doing my Chalfont’s no good at all!
This is what I get (can’t seem to post a screen shot)
