IIRC there have been at least three of these SAS Are You Tough Enough programmes. One was filmed in the UK somewhere and another I’ve seen was filmed somewhere overseas in a jungle/rain forest environment and another in a desert environment.

Which one(s) have you seen in NZ TNZ?

“Goose, take me to bed or lose me forever” :diablo:

I’ve got the soundtrack on tape somewhere……must dig it out and give it a blast.

Has anyone seen pictures of the interior of the Yorkshire Air Museum Friday 13th?..did they fit it out completely with a cockpit and instruments?

Yes & yes. Would have attached a picture but that part of the website is broken (see announcement at top of forum)

Steve, the ‘red stuff’ on W1048 is PX-9, a lanolin based preservative which was originally used.

I spent Sunday at the Halifax in Hendon in the company of the Flight Engineer who was onboard the aircraft when it crash landed. He does not wish the aircraft to be restored.

There is certainly room for improvement with the display of the Halifax – the inclusion of the rest of the parts which were recovered would be good and a total overhaul of the information/display boards is a must.

The Halifax at Trenton is coming on and looking good and I would love to see it one day. There is a place for all three Halifaxes (Elvington, Hendon, Trenton)………they all have their merits, so lets enjoy them and appreciate what we have.

Scharnhorst & Gneisenau? 😀

I am trying to find out any information on Flt Lt Goddard RAAF all i know about him is from the Australian war memorial died 08/09/1944 he was on 582 Sqn, i was wondering what mission he was on what aircraft he was flying etc etc.

John Edward GODDARD DFC, Son of Bertrand Decimus Goddard and Olive Lilian Kate Goddard, of Brookvale, New South Wales, Australia was killed in France. According to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website he is commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial which generally (but not always) means that his body was not recovered and he has no known grave.

You might be able to obtain further details with regard to his DFC award by searching in the online editions of the London Gazette http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/archiveSearch.asp?WebType=0

The link to that URL has been u/s for several months now if not longer. I recently removed if from the ‘Links’ pages of my websites. No idea what happened to the site, sorry.
