… personally I feel strongly that there is something morally repugnant about recovering an air frame simply for commercial purposes…

I have heard some horrific tales of what has happened to human remains in the past in wrecks recovered in Russia for onward sale (usually) abroad, so I agree; whether an inconvenient pilots body really was washed out of a cockpit by high pressure hose I know not, but that sort of (hopefully made up) story makes the idea of recovery for personal gain appear disrespectful – not as disrespectful as not actually recovering crew members when discovered, but still a little…sick. I do realise that what may have happened in one country should not colour all recoveries (and I fully understand that nothing like that would happen to the crew members in this case) but, as we all know, one bad example can influence all that follows – witness just about every story in the Daily Mail.

And talking of respect, shouldn’t this video be removed since it obviously shows the mortal remains of S/L R L Knott?

Raided from the Luftwaffe Experten Message Board (sorry) but (probably) copied off of Ebay and the like!
Captured Fairey Battles on wagons in France, presumably loaded to be repaired but abandoned in the retreat…

Gah – one day I’ll know what I’m doing!

The Meteor and the Vampire started their display together, but only the Meteor gave a solo as the Vamp appeared to run off and not return.
Nice display over all, bit of a let down with all the non appearances, but good weather and Miss Demeanour was fantastic; shame she might not be on the circuit next year if the commentary guys are to be believed.

Transall?
