    Glad to see the spaniel wasn’t forgotten, now those were images that have even for most people here I suspect unseen.

    Thanks

    Bet there’s a few more tales waiting to be told as well

    Is it the right way up?

    Watched it last night and now puzzled over the method of propulsion in an environment with zero atmosphere and while on the subject is the olive drab colour on the Daleks correct for the period, looked just a tiny shade too dark but it could have been the studio lighting.

    No idea if it’s still in print but Harrier by Francis K Mason which was first printed back in 81 (my copy is an 86 reprint) has substantial amount about the P1127 and P1154, but then there’s a lot more material to write about the Harrier since then.

    Just checked, some second hand copies are available on Amazon

    hell of a story;

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1264738/The-Goering-saved-Jews-A-new-book-reveals-Hermann-masterminded-Final-Solution-brother-Albert-rescued-Gestapo-victims.html#ixzz0kvKMaiJg

    Sounds like a reworking of a story that appeard in the Guardian recently, not that the Daily Mail would ever admit to keeping an eye on a paper like that.

    I know you’re not supposed to use a phone whilst driving but texting or tweeting during a battle, no wonder it was a close one!

    Read an interview a few years ago and he confessed to being a history buff with as has already been mentioned a degree in the subject.

    Having seen his Berlin series first time round it certainly made me see his pub landlord in a different light.

    Would be nice to see him do more of this as I thought he was a good presenter and better than some

    Just to echo this is a fascinating thread and once again thanks to you and all those who didn’t survive for what you did, it is still appreciated.

    the ‘damage’ to the photo is not very well photoshopped, the crease down the middle isn’t convincing, as for the burning at the bottom corners of the photo, far too neat and the angle of the wings of the Hurricane to the Blenheim are wrong unless it’s tipping over

    Great read and the capacity of the tanks on that flight must have been phenomenal

    what’s the situation regarding access to the old pads, just wander over if there is the opportunity or contact the museum? The more I’m reading the more I want to pop back for a visit

    maybe he means he was ejected from the plane due to forces, but in these modern times the interviewer could have assumed P47 was just like modern fighters, or it is just plain lazy journalism
