What a pain! I rushed over there last night after work for the re-scheduled FOD AAM photoshoot, to find it cancelled again becasue of this! 😡

3rd time lucky?

The Patricia Roc film (“Millions Like Us”) has Short Stirlings as it’s main draw !

She’s (supposed) to be working on ’em (or bits related), whilst her ‘Love-Interest’ (a very young Gordon Jackson, ‘ex’ ‘Great-Escape’/’Professionals’), is part of Stirling Aircrew.

Can’t remember how much is featured of ’em, but it’s gotta be worth picking up ?

Patricia Roc was such a great-beauty in her time 😎

So, two great beauties in one film (err, not Gordon Jackson :o)- excellant! 😀

Thanks for the heads-up.

Spooky coincidence

Last night I saw a freebie download from BT Vision on WWII fighters. It was largely filmed at Dx, care of the OFMC and TFC. Sadly it featured several pilots, and airframes, no longer with us – including Mark Hanna.

Definitely worth an hour if your can get it. And it gave me an excuse not to wash up:)

I caught a few seconds of him wobbling precariously on the bombardiers seat as they banked around – looked like great fun!

not even the doctors (the insultants don’t work weekends obviously) I don’t believe it was a biosecurity issue either…..

Mine is taped to my security pass – and looks rather battered as a result.;)

Especially after a weekend on-call. ;);)

I actually asked my team why we wear a poppy – none of them knew. To be fair, none were born in the UK – especially the German girl – but they were all aware of Rememberance Sunday. But not why it is at 11.00.:(

Hi,

What really excited me about the emails, even though there was no sign of progress, was that the airframe was described as being in two halves. I was not aware it was bisected when we last discussed it on the forum.

Do you know how the CAS knew it was in two places? He seemed quite certain about this, so we only have to wait for the latest Cold War to melt…..
