Well there’s a hint that they should maybe print it again if they could get permission or, at least, ‘we’ have somewhere to start with such a thing.

I’ll send you a PM, CS.

I finally found my copy at a secondhand bookshop in Echuca, Victoria. Had been searching for several years and was astounded when I saw it on the shelf.

I have a live search for it on Abebooks, CS, so will give you a yell if something comes up in the short-term (by which time you may have set up your own search if you haven’t already).

As an aside, and it’s of no help whatsoever, it’s one of the small print-run books by Australian pilots that I would like to have reprinted and ‘re-released’ but that sort of thing takes time that I don’t currently have.

Since he/she is featuring in this investigation as an official standard of measure, it is only right to ask what his/her name (bit of a cutie too) is please, Richard.

Re the twin engine Luftwaffe type – Norwegian Lake ( not Swedish)

Dave (Classic Wings)

Thanks, Dave. I keep walking past that issue on the table but get distracted by one of the short people in the house.

IIRC, the He115 recovery in Norway (?) has been delayed till summer of this year. The same report – Classic Wings or AM, I think – also mentioned something about a “possible German twin” recently sighted in a Norwegian lake (for some reason I’m now thinking Sweden … was only skimming while flipping steaks on the BBQ!).

The recovery of the Northrop Nomad, in Lake Muskoka, Canada, is supposed to happen this year as the remains of the crew have been removed by the RCN’s divers. Again, the story of the recovery was in the latest Classic Wings.

Sad to see ‘DVE like that, Dan. She was certainly a lot happier when parked, and cared for, at Brooklands.

Would like to attend it one day to pay my respects. Thank you to those of you who attend year after year.
