Wow what a find!! I heard there was a german aircrew covered over in a pond up in yorkshire.The german bomber had been chased down a valley by spitfires and exploded in mid-air near middlesborough.Some people had found the parachute draped out of a pond but couldn`t pull it out because it was `weighted` at the harness end beneath the water. They cut the lines and pinched the chute never saying anything thinking they`d get into trouble.The council filled in the pond much later with the poor soul in it I would assume.
they look like the insulators from the `beam approach` aerial that are fitted to either end of the aerial running along the rear underside of the fuselage.
I heard EXACTLY the same thing over Glastonbury on Sunday and I thought it was a Hunter too.it was too bright and high to see though and again silence after a few seconds.
..and `The George Hotel` in Grantham………….sorry know they`re not Lincoln but always been interested in these old haunts ever since visiting this old `crew signed `pub in Lavenham.
