    RE: Burried wrecks : some for the future diggers

    I wouldn’t dig this up in the future; Its probably been buried for the same reason destroyed Iraqi tanks were; they are contaminated by depleted uranium rounds – although that would mean this A-10 was the victim of Friendly Fire, not impossible from our American friends.

    RE: Hemswell

    No Idea who was based operationally at Hemswell! Shame on you all. Go out a buy the video “Night Bombers” this weekend. The only known WW2 colour film of Bomber Command all shot at Hemswell by Air Commodore Cozens. The best thing you will ever see about Bomber Command. It was No 1 Group 300 & 301 Polish Squadrons amongst others, by the way.

    RE: Dambusters Progamme on C5

    What a superb programme. OK we have all heard the story before, but no benefit of hindsight rubbish. Just the facts as they were known then. George Charmers, Edward Johnson, Fred Sutherland, Ken Brown appearing (sadly, two of whom are no longer with us) and Gibson’s dog named (OK so they made clear that you would not name your black dog after Gibson’s dog today). Perhaps a bit more on Barnes Wallis and the other things he invented, but you can’t have everything. I may even watch Channel five again.

    ……and just for the record Lancaster R5868 S-Sugar was also shown. Or at least the bomb bay was; wish I’d set my video now!
