Too many sadly.
One was Graham Wardell who was flying a BAe Hawk 200 at Bratislava, Slovakia June 6th 1999. Lovely chap. Graham was course leader when I did ETPS in 1991. During the course we had an inkling he had flown something special….then as Gulf 1 unfurled, a photo in a magazine of an F117 had his name on it!

These losses hit us hard. Aviation is a small world – flt test even smaller.

Good that these remains have been found and hopefully will be buried by CWGC. It means that the relatives will have closure and a wider audience will think of these gents for at least a moment. Besides it brings the episode to a younger generation.
Uneasy about pix tho

Here is one I did earlier!!! The item (for those interested) is a PU scope from a Mosin Nagant sniper rifle (found in an old soviet trench in Kurland) after nearly 70 years. The corrosion was deep and unpleasant. A photo shows it in the ‘bath’. After 48 hours, it looks good – all rust desolved – can see the fine threading for the optics and the knurling on the knobs. The as new version is shown in the final picture. Gives you some idea of how even the baddest looking item comes up nicely.

What a pointless thread!! As far as I can see and read….the P40 came back….did a run and break with wheels up (the only place the wheels should be) and then landed fine….so no issue, am I being thick?
