    Hello Tony, I think it was a UK Chinook, the guy also had a Wessex stick top and I bought a Lynx collective off him a couple of years ago. How does one tell? XV806, yes it was, good to sort of meet you! Firefly sounds interesting.

    Had a splendid time. Caught up with a few people and bought a very cheap Chinook stick. Not very historic but a fine selection of knobs and buttons. Much enjoying your book, Air Ministry!

    hello Mark, the last photo LL19 looks like cooling fins from around the engine cylinder heads. Interesting stuff!

    According to the link here your father could have been an airframe fitter. He appears to have a medal ribbon on his left breast as well.

    Nice memento!

    Something US Navy as a wild guess?

    Could it be a bomb bay door? It looks of a similar flimsyness to an Anson or Battle.

    Isn’t the Fishbourne Creek recovery photo in your ‘Britain at War’ article, Andy?Here’s some BoB 109 elevator interior colour. Can’t tie down the Werk No. though…

    Your shed sounds an interesting place for a rummage, AM! A 217 yoke, now that really is something. You could charge per look for that.

    That Luftwaffe link is near pornography. Here’s a slightly grainy picture of the stick in A 188. Could they have been scrapping part of the Air Intelligence collection at the yard, or just the last of the RAF Luftwaffe collection?

    The museum at Brenzett had a working model. Had a go in it a couple of years ago, very good fun.

    Thanks for posting those. I’ve walked over that field a couple of times looking for a fragment but only found bits of the A10 Thunderbolt which came down nearby. If you have any spare bits I’d love to do a swap! A prop blade was hardly a disaster.

    A browse over the photos would be splendid, Pagen. Hopefully they will still have the meter square photo enlargement on the wall. I counted 150 Lancs before I gave up.
