Great news, it’s a smashing little museum, well worth a visit. Maybe in time they will get the other hangars.

Out of interest I had a look online for news of Buccaneers (Fairey or otherwise) being found recently by pipeline survey teams, only thing I found was this;

and

https://www.nord-stream2.com/media/d…2017-06-28.pdf

Both well known – are there any other recent discoveries?

Which raises another question; if the C-64 was found, it would be a war grave thus immune from disturbance, by law?

However, a Fairey Buccaneer was found by a pipeline survey team just recently, and it is in good enough condition to recover for a museum

You what? 😮

but was horrified to read that the British POWs who built the runway on the Island concerned are likely to have been bayoneted or beheaded

Is there a CWCG Graveyard there I wonder?

RIP

Not to hand, but it would be significant because even today the flight West / East is shorter than East / West.
The effect of the head/tail wind was really significant for the Airships that flew the Atlantic. The first, the R34, completed the first two-way crossing only months after Alcock and Brown, and it was quicker by over a day and a half on the West / East return trip.

It even made a difference with Ships; the Blue Riband records for west bound ships are generally higher than eastbound (Only a couple of hours in later records, but consistently so)
