On thursday My son booked a seat for my father at the presentation, He was told that ther was only one seat left. Two people had cancelled. So please check before turning up, if you havent booked for a seat. Looking forward to the event.
My friend who knew Sgt Ralf ‘Tich’ Havercroft was told by him that he was flying as number two to Roger Bushell when he was shot down. Tich saw him standing on the wing of his Spitfire that had bellied landed and radioed to him. Asking if he should land and try to pick him up! Bushell radioed back saying he was ok and would try to make it on foot.
We had ‘Tich’s’ uniform on display at Bletchley Park for a few years until we where forced to close our museum down, the uniform went back to his son.
I’ve always thought they where camouflaged, but watching you tube with the GAL Hotspur you coud be right. At the moment I cant find my copy of ‘All the Kings Horsas’ which also shows the Hotspur 1 in flight.
I sent my son to Barton library, as its just up the road form where we are working. They are taking bookings for seats as they are expecting alot of people to turn up. So he has booked seats for us..
I was told once. That the Tim More’s Beaufighter had the original rear fusleage of the Fighter Collections Beau! I have seen Tim’s Beaufigher for a few years now.
I believe the LAA do wood working course’s every now and then.
Making wing ribs is not difficult. You just need a good jig board to make them on. I have had to make a complete set for my 1935 Slingsby Kirby Kite prototype.
Hi Jenna,
Thanks for the up date I will try to the presentation. I will be thatching a roof in Bedford road, Barton hopefully starting some time next week. So was thinking of popping in to the library to see what they had.
