    Hi
    If the STUKA at Hendon is the same one that was at either St Athat or RAS Colerne then it will start and is in beautiful condition (or it was when I saw the engine run’s).

    Hi
    There are TWO super books by Don McVickar all about the Canadians ferrying a/c (all types) to the UK and route finding.
    One is called Ferry Command and I am sorry I cant find the title of the other one but it is a sequal to Ferry Command. If you are interested PM me and | will get more details ie; the isbn numbers and the title of the second book.
    Hope this Helps
    All the Best
    🙂 🙂

    Hi
    When I was at Liverpool (Speke) Airport there was a story going around that at the end of WW2 they dumped and buried all the a/c that were there and were surplus to requirements. These were supposed to have been bueried in the area of 17 Threshold by the Link . I do remember going to the old gun calib site the firing butts were approx 100yds to the left of the then Electrical “B” Station and this area was then a fire practice site with an old DC 6 or 4 of Starways Airline.:) 🙂

    They should hang murderers and child offenders once convicted on an ELASTIC type rope so that they bounce around a bit, it gives them time to think when death will come and time for Anmesty Int to complainabout their cruel death without thinking of the poor relatives of the person offended (killed or raped).:mad: 😡

    Hi
    There is/was a super film (docu) on TV some years ago about the Soviet Ectoplan and there was some superb shots in it. If you want any further details let me dig out the tape to get the name and PM me.

    Liverpool (the old airport) in the 70s when an EE Lightning went the full length of the crowd line at no more than 150ft in re-heat and just below the sound barrier. It came as such a shock that I actually saw a baby jump out of its pram with the sudden sound.:D 😀 😀
