If they slung some missiles underneath and sent them in the direction of the middle east then money would undoubtedly be no problem….

The RAFM have his desk, maybe they could be reunited?

Also a mention to the mock Scramble that was played out to honor the few,also in honor of the late Ray Holmes,of whom was based at Hendon.and who could forget that battle he had in the skies above the Oval cricket ground on the 15th of September with an in complete German Bomber.

It was incomplete when he’d finished with it anyway. Maybe the RAFM could model their Dornier on what that one looked like when it came down at Victoria station!

I’d have thought that the RAF Museum would have jumped at the chance of some major wing components. Haven’t they shown any interest then?

It is well known that the RAFM work in mysterious ways!!

I remember seeing some in a magazine (Aeroplane??) years ago

I remember a documentary a few years ago a PR Spitfire pilot recalled partying a bit too much the night before the mission. Having taken off he needed to pee, but at altitude his bits and pieces had shrunk in the cold and he couldn’t reach the tube. He subsequently peed himself and it turned to ice on the inside of the windscreen. So, 30,000 odd feet over Germany, unarmed, and chipping frozen urine off the windscreen. Those were the days..

yes, “Home is the Halifax” by the late Ian Robinson MBE, published by Grubb Street. A very good read.

Or, as my copy is called, ‘The Unbeaten Warrior Returns’
