    A couple of years ago I read an article about the Byrd Fokker and attempts to raise the bucks to recover it . There were photos of the naked airfame on the ice .

    Never believe in these “once in thirty year weather event predictions”. We paid for riverbank protection earthworks to provide protection against a “once in fifty years event ” .Once they were finished , we experienced three weather events in excess of the “once in fifty years predection ” during the next five years .

    Beautiful pictures , thanks for posting them . They illustrate another point well , some squadrons carried the topside colour over the leading edge while others did not . This was also apparent during the Suez Crisis .

    Steady progress is being made and there was an update with pictures recently on Dave Homewoods site . I think Brendon has a website too .

    I believe it was the same colour as the cheatline on Transport command aircraft such as the Brittania and may have been called Aircraft Blue .
