A quote from the Guardian, just after the first party leaders debate prior to the 2010 General Election:

“Nick Clegg has surged into contention as a potential prime minister, according to a Guardian/ICM poll carried out following last night’s TV leaders’ debate.
A quarter of voters who watched the three leaders on the ITV programme say they will switch their vote, with most changing to theLiberal Democrats.”

And from the Telegraph….

“Exploiting his equal billing with the two main party leaders,*Mr Clegg presented himself as the voice of “fairness” and challenged his rivals to be honest with the public. His tactics appeared to have paid off with three separate polls putting Mr Clegg far ahead of Mr Cameron and Mr Brown.”

Come 2019, it will be interesting to re-read some of this year’s articles…

I’d say there were at least a couple of cockpit sets used for the close ups, or at least – a couple of different / repainted pilot’s seats. If you look at the yellow circle on the armour plate behind the pilots’ head there’s a distinctive “nick” in the paint in some shots that’s not there in others. It’s most obvious during the flights to the dams and the “Here Leader” sequence when we’re supposed to be cutting between the various aircraft.

What’s that you say? A nerd?? Me??? Well…

Great pics Wyvernfan, thanks – that’s my sort of holiday snaps! Really hoping I’ll be able to make it to Coniston when they run and see her myself.

I think they did claim at once point, based on film of the last takeoff, that the Electra had sustained damage and therefore possibly wasn’t receiving radio messages from the Itasca, or not very reliably. In the ever-shifting world of TIGHAR mythology – I don’t know if that’s what they still say. But as the Coast Guard could hear her – she was certainly still able to transmit.

There’ve been a good few on the Disused WW2 Airfields FB group…

These are of Woolfox Lodge – from a gentleman called Martyn Jones

“Isn’t there a surviving airlift C54 or DC4 at North Weald?”

This one survives – with attempts now being made to get it back in the air.

It saw service in three wars – and they plan to use it to commemorate the Airlift – but I’m not sure if it was actually involved itself.

It’s quoted elsewhere that the pilot’s name is Zac Rockey. Had been flying from Bodmin

Good article from Carl Hoffman – who’s been covering the Earhart saga for years –
