Just a quick update…
Stan and Dave Brett’s Southend photos will become available soon. I just have to arrange to collect them to scan as soon as I get the chance..
Watch this space!

Bumping it back a full twelve months, have we made any progress in seeing the Bretts’ photos? Happy to collect/scan/return….
Last PD to Gloucester pencilled in for tomorrow, subject to weather…:(
…and Planning Permission was granted today (subject to Secretary of State approval, because it’s in the grenn belt)
Some good museum news for a change…
There are some pictures of the Spitfire in the museum and airworthy after here: –

Started it last night and read far more than I intended…undoubtedly I’ll be knackered at work again tomorrow!
Does your friend have any more pictures? I used to live about 40 yards from there.
The Meteor’s ‘out in the cold’ on the western side of the camp
Happy to take one person (only got a 2-seater!!) from Gloucester area to various shows/museums/events throughout the summer, or pick up en route. Perhaps we should have a spare seat sticky thread on the forum next year?
Just bumping this thread up again as I’ll be meeting his daughter again soon. Are accident reports for these wartime tragedies available? What about the earlier MID?
