Haven’t seen a lot of him lately, but Kev has posted about doing some things that have “good bloke” written all over them.

Happy birthday, hope that karma brings good things your way.

Funnily enough only yesterday we travelled on the Ravenglass and Eskdale railway, in a carriage donated/unveiled (can’t remember which) by Bader in June 1982. Living just up the road from his alma mater he’s quite hard to avoid round here.

Will that be in the film?

Adrian

That gunner is ‘Frank Spencer’ as in Some mother’s do ‘ave ’em, otherwise known as Michael Crawford !

Blimey – he’s right, too! Check IMDB…

My nomination: Every scene in which a line of Spitfires peel off in echelon. You know the one, even if I have got the terminology wrong, it’s the law it has to be in a film.

Adrian

Blimey, someone went to some trouble to write that lot!

When we visited last year, the nasty angle at which one of the Mystere’s undercarriage legs was sat suggested that the wing structure was disintegrating (unless it was damaged when last moved). Neither looked in a happy state – there was a bramble growing out of an access panel on the F100. I guess if the USAFM would let someone do something useful with it… but I have a nasty feeling that anyone who does might find themselves with an endless supply of Daz.

Adrian

Oh no – what a let down! You do have an advantage over nearly everyone else on that front, of course,Tim.

Sliding further from the topic, spot the wood planted by German POWs in WW1:

(pretty much central, three quarters of the way up the page, if it works, if not just Google Henley on Thames, hit Maps, hit Earth)

Rest in peace. Thank you for doing your job. Just a job, but just the job when it was needed.

Thank you for letting us know, Tim.
