Ok, they’re a bit grey – I’ll tart ’em up a bit, shrink em, and reduce the file size before putting them up.

Here’s a couple to be going on with:

HMS Scylla – has been prepared to be sunk of Whitsands Bay, Cornwall. The idea is that she’s going to be used as an artificial reef.

Well, it must of been very temporary as I can see it, and yes I have tried refresh!!!

Try CTRL/F5 – or CTRL while clicking on refresh. It is definitely off-line.

Actually, that’s a private company Internic UK – not the official Internic website. Internic UK sell domain names – clearly on the back of the official name.

What happens is, if you remove a website, the web-hosting company’s advertising spiel replaces it automatically.

Good video clips take up a great deal of room and bandwidth – but yes, they could have done a little better.

Should be grateful its available at all though, I suppose.

Does anyone know if/when the Seahawk will be test flying?

Would love to nip up to Yeovilton to grab a sneak photo of her flying before the season starts.

I’ve got a tame naval bloke earwigging for me, but he’s a doctor who sometimes gets the opportunity to fly choppers – he’s not sure if he can find out.

Ha’penny Green Airfield, near Wolverhampton in the late 60’s or very early 70’s. Don’t know who it was or which it was – but it was most impressive.

Any ideas who/what it might have been?

I was in the ATC looking after the fence that day.

Stunning – still, those planes would “look good in a potato sack”

Daz,

You should serious reconsider moving that site. There is a file that tries to download immediately you click on the Tootsie link.

My recommendation to everyone is DO NOT ALLOW IT TO CONTINUE. It is spamware, so far as I can tell, and will be difficult to remove.

remember Big Show fondly as it was the first wartime aviation biography book I read

Ditto – picked it up in the school library and couldn’t put it down. Sadly it has dimmed from memory since, and I initially confused it as being written by H.E. Bates. Did Bates ever write about his wartime experiences? I have the vague recollection that he was a pilot too.

Didn’t know what a “biography” was then, though – I just loved the images it conveyed.

Was roundly chastised by my teacher, when I quoted a particularly poignant extract, in a project on WWII aircraft – for – would you believe it – COPYING. I mean, I could hardly have had the exeriences myself First Hand – could I.

She was a rubbish teacher, anyway. When I did produce original material she couldn’t recognise, and didn’t believe it.

There is, of course, the true story of the 3 cows that fell out of an aircraft (I think) and landed on a fishing boat or tug or something – must find it again.

“Fourteen Tons of Thunder” by Wilfred Hardy G. AV. A in the hall.

and

“Spitfire” by Barry Clark (over the telly of couse)

Plus various qualification certificates and Warner Brothers “Cartoon Story” (you know Bugs Bunny, etc) raised prints dotted around.

I know a chap who has a wonderful collection of 1st & inter War bomber prints. He’s actually an RNLI chap, but they look much better in his flat, then they ever could in mine.
