” have to laugh at this, there is probably about the same amount of radiation in your wrist watch’s luminous markings as there is in the instruments of a warbird!
Cheers……………..”

Well you may well be right Warbird,but browsing through the channels the other week I watched a bit of the Antiques Roadshow,and they set aside about 5 minutes of that programme describing the dangerous nature of the luminous Radium dials on old watches,so they obviously feel that even that small amount is potentially harmful.

I’ve got a couple of pics of ‘434 in her ‘AV-H’ markings parked up at the end of the day at Biggin Hill in ’93 (I think).One is a ratehr nice sunset shot which includes the Dutch-marked SeaFury OFMC used to have.Let me know if they’d be any use. 🙂

Love the pictures Der,thanks for sharing.Regards the JP’s,wasn’t there a Jp team called The Blades or The Swords or something like that??

“Did the Stuka ever have any air-to-air kills thoroughout its wartime service?”

It’s thought that Hans-Ulrich Rudel,the Luftwaffe’s most decorated pilot and a Ju87 driver throughout his career,scored perhaps as many as half a dozen air-air victories on the Eastern Front.It’s worth mentioning though that he was shot down a number of times himself!

I do view all new threads but I’m not all that keen on photography so when stuff comes up about the Canon this and the Nikkon that I’m generally outta here! 😀 I can’t afford the gear and the work of others on this forum far outstrips anything I could do.
I also find it a bit tedious when a discussion goes on and on,particularly when it’s on a specific subject,eg the B and C wing Spitfire debate a few days back!No offence to anyone,it just wasn’t my cuppa tea…
:rolleyes:

PS I did download the Concorde Wav.,thanks for putting it up. 😉

A*roplane Monthly ran a feature on the scrapping of various types at Cosford on the early 50’s in an issue a month or two ago.The shot above of teh Lanc and Mossies was one of a number of heartbreaking images used in the feature. 🙁

Wow,sounds like an interesting experience Mark.I dropped into the Science Museum yesterday while I was ‘up in town’ and had a good nosey around the flight gallery (again-this was my second visit in just a couple of months.)I dropped in on a whim,so hadn’t taken my camera with me or anything like that,and I have to say I probably enjoyed the visit more for not having brought my camera.I just wandered round and took my time and took things in,rather than rushing around for the best views and worrying about lighting effects etc.It’s amazing how many historic aircraft are crammed into such a relatively small space,and the engine collection is impressive too.
As some of you may know,the Supermarine S.6B has been undergoing some renovation work over the last few months,with various bits away at Skysport.The work now appears to be finished,with all the ‘This aircraft is under restoration’ placards taken down and all the bits back in place.She looks great. 😎
Do you have any pics of P9444 in storage alongside the Hurri Mark? (hint,hint)

The red and white Dr.1 was flown for quite a while as part of the World War One Combat Team (The Wombats),as was the black D.VII.The Dr.1 was indeed sold on to a French owner and tragically it crashed fatally at a fly-in in Germany about 18 months ago. 🙁
