Whilst googling last week, I came across a webpage featuring a lady by the name of ‘Barby’ displaying her chest at various locations around the museum at Cosford 😮 Now, does anyone on here have a ‘significant other’ by the name of ‘Barby’??? 😀 I would post a link to the page in question, but given the nature of the photos I’d better not :diablo:

Those of a ‘curious’ nature can PM me for the link 😀

Maybe they should have gone for the twin-engined Fairey Battle.

X-1 & X-2?

I’m certainly interested in the Harrington/Twinwood meet, though it depends on A) if I can get a lift & B) if its not on a weekend when I’m at the museum. I’ll be at Shoreham every other Sunday this season, BTW we open on Easter Sunday (gets plug in), so do drop in if your in the area folks on a Sunday, you wont be dissapointed, just ask Robbo, AndyiB, or SteveY (or Bob Doe!).

Hi Geoff,
I hoped you’d chime in about here.
The address is 569 Sidcup Road, Mottingham SE9.
Cheers
Andy

Would you like a photo of the house?

If so, then I can’t do anything Saturday, as we’re having a ‘Work day’ at the museum getting things ready for the new season (some very nice new exhibits will be going on show), but might be able to get one on Sunday. If not then it’ll be next weekend.

The address falls into the London Borough of Greenwich, so if you’d like any reaearch done at the Greenwich Heritage Centre re the house, let me know.

Geoff.

Is this okay?
