Sounds good – I didn’t see you on the ‘Live News Broadcast’ that’s just gone out on the BBC!! :diablo:

galdri,

Somewhere amongst this search http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/search.php?searchid=2797516 you may find details, because in the past I have posted some explanations about how the NAHR works.

The concept / methodology cover about 6 pages and the detailed listing about 50 pages. However LL’s suggestion is the best one, but they might be out of print. The new version should have been printed months ago!

All that said I’m still a great believer in the NAHR – especially as it helped NAM secure £453,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund towards the cost of building Hangar 2; the balance of funding circa £100,000 being raised by the museum volunteers and staff! 🙂

Thanks Mark! 🙂

Done
How about finding the sunken ship with the Highball Mossies on ?????

Perhaps his previous exaggerations were still in evidence; as both carriers seemed to have survived!! :confused:

There are references to the Highball Mosquitos on the HMS Fencer link below

So what happened to the aircraft and munitions?

Signed up last week – but I understood it was another Upkeep being recovered! :confused:

The Highball topic reminds me of an early work encounter with a storeman back in 1977 / 78. He was always prone to exaggerate anything he told you, so when he told me of ‘Highball’ Mosquitoes being shipped to the Far East on HMS Fencer and HMS Striker – I immediately questioned the validity of his story!

I was suitably put in my place the following day when he showed me his pictures from on-board, with all the aircraft stored on deck. An interesting aside was that one of the vessels was sunk and that should have been the one he was on, but he had ‘suffered’ a very lucky mix-up with his posting!

I thought it was a ‘sweet’ reply, but how many ‘lumps’ might you find? 😀

😮 Don’t let the Planning Authorities see that picture!

To get NAM’s Engine Display Building approved the local Planning Department had to be driven to a couple of sites to see them in situ before they would grant Planning Permission – by all accounts modern computer based stress calculations show they are unsafe!

Were they right after all??? :diablo:

😀 Must go now – I’ve got a meeting with an Architect in the morning!! 😉
