Hi
Copyright exists, but there has always been on a system of no profit can be made directly from the item copied, for research etc.
Commercial use is different.
In the old days (70’s) you could copy items then sell photocopies of them, until your original copying cost was covered, then sell no more.
( i.e. the old luftwaffe crash reports, sold in the aviation news classified section in the late 70’s)
Slightly different rules now but the site has a page on the ‘deal’
http://www.oldrafrecords.com/copyright.php
So they are not allowed to charge.
It would be nice to the A.P’s online..what a resource that would be…
Now had this site been around four years ago they could have had all my PRO/NA photocopies that i could not take with me.
Must see if i have any scans and if the site takes donated scans of documents.
If all the members on this board sent in just one document each, the site could be a massive wealth of info.

Hi
Thanks for posting the drawings, i was told in a pub of a mockup of a british twin a/c as a floatplane at a WW2 NAS, I thought the story was just beer:D
But maybe it was a P-38 then.
cheers

Thanks Mark 12, did not even notice the wrong way round fin flash!……come to think of it, fin flashes were not used with “B” type roundels.
Hi
I have seen a few threads on website about reversed fin flashes in photos and I have one photo with a reversed fin flash, it seems it did genuinely occured.
Also I think the PR spitfire had type ‘B’ roundels,
cheers

Hi Andy,
Is there room for your son on the flight, the aircraft must be stacked full of potential aerojumble items me thinks;):D:)
Co-incidently I went to Vancouver IPMS show today and they had a tableshare system worked quite well, as most sellers didn’t have enough to fill an individual table.( got a few $5 bargins 1/32 p-38,lysander, and a MPC 1/72 e boat).
It’s the nearest thing I found so far to the ‘feel’ of an aerojumble, lots of bodies trying to get to the rumage boxes.:D and that must have item.
Cheers

Hi Andy,
Now this I still really miss, nothing like it this side of the pond, you have to go out into the fields and trees & scrapyards to look for the stuff, very backward me thinks,and most of it is in catering size packets….:rolleyes:
And they don’t even sell a dewdneys pastie..
Sadly I won’t be over the pond for a while.
As a sudden thought ..
have you thought of table share,( like car share), where people can buy part of a table,maybe even forumites could bunch together to get one.
cheers
Jerry
Hi
look out for an old power boat with r-r peregrines in it:D
and check out the scrapyards for the missing whirlwind fighter wreck.:D
cheers

Hi
Sorry for spoiling the plot..
Only info sort of related that i can find is that july 43 is the month before the us started the first steps of forming the carpetbagger squadrons.
from wiki ( not always the best source )
In late 1943, the 22nd Anti-Submarine Squadron of the Eighth Air Force was disbanded at RAF Alconbury and its aircraft used to form the 36th and 406th Bomb Squadrons. After some shuffling of commands, these two squadrons were placed under the 801st Bomb Group (Provisional) at the beginning of 1944, and the first “Carpetbagger” missions were carried out by this unit under the control of General “Wild Bill” Donovan’s Office of Strategic Services (OSS).
So I am wondering if they tried stirlings out or borrowed a few,before forming officially and using us aircraft.
As they say for real ww2 camo & markings you can’t beat an eyewitness, i like his old books.
cheers

Hi
In 1998, give or take a year ,there was some HE-177 stuff in a museum near munich,from memory recovered from a training flight crash into a lake.
somewhere…. I have a photo of the bits & info plaque.

cheers
