Also tonight BBC 4 at 9.00pm “Fifties British War Films: Days of Glory” looks back at Dambusters, Cruel Sea, Coditz Story etc etc
Is that the one about the unpleasantness with Iceland some years ago? π
Shhh or we won’t get that fish supper they have been promising us, all from 5 loaves and a couple of trout..
π
Which two are the trouts? π
The Bergamaschi P.L.3 was designed for the London-Melbourne race, but was one of the unlucky aeroplanes who has not started.
Who can help me with all kind of information/materials concerning this aeroplane?
There’s a bit here –

I think you will find it is:

I’d watch it if I was you – that’s defamatory. π
Good grief!!! look what the cat dragged in. π
A couple of coats of paint and it’ll be apples. π
Well if Andy returns to the land of the living yet again he will henceforth be known as Lazarus by me. π Now I know in the past he and I did have the odd protracted “friendly” exchange but I do stress that a forum without such reasoned but differing exchanges is no forum at all in my book, nor of much interest either.
But seriously what a protracted business this is – the weekend didn’t help.
Anyway I hope we see the three back again pronto. π
One important thing to be changed – it did not have struts between the floats. This was just bracing rod/wire. The mistake is made on all models of it.
Hate to sound cynical but this sounds like every other silly rumour that infests the found historic wrecks in Australia subject. Lots of claims, more “certain to exist” statements and then at the end of it ****** all. I really am convinced that some people have too much time on their hands – if they have found something then say so and post proof, if not take their imaginations to a good scriptwriter.
The point being if you have found something and have proof then good, but if it is just another silly claim where the caveat is that secrecy is needed to protect things blah blah blah then I for one do not believe it. Do these rumour mongers seriously think that there are hundreds of thousands of people just ready to descend like locusts and carry off what is usually (in the case of real finds) nothing but a few scraps of bent aluminium.
Well if I had the money ………………………. sigh!!!!!!
I’d buy it,build it a nice little hangar and just go out and look at it every day.

Was curious if anyone had any further details regarding the backstory of this brave little critter:

If I pull these wires I can make him act like a real pilot.
Anyone quibbling over dictionary definitions is missing what a lovely job that is. Can’t wait to see it finished.
you really dont know what could be “out there”…. remember barns and farms hold all kind of things…
They also seem to have a lot of manure too. π
WOW!!!!
The pilot appears to have left in a hurry. π
