    Looks nice but personally I would get very bored very quickly of polishing it.

    had one climb out of shoreham whilst I was on the beach there yesterday. No idea if it took off or flew thru. – must of been about the same sort of time frame

    Had a C-47 over today with the wheels down. Must be the RAFA airshow this weekend as well.

    Skin condition of the Wessex is good – are these are a type of mag alloy like the Whirlwinds?? I was expecting a lot of corrosion but can see hardly anything.

    Cant say much about the airframe condition though – lots of Glacial action on them, even see the scrape marks on the roundel

    Many thanks for the responses.

    I suppose the Wessies will appear in due cause either as a pancake or complete airframes for some future archaelologist to wonder what it was all about!

    The Puma, im surprised to see so many “useable” bits on it in the earlier photos – but the sea air and the time frame between when it was lost to any potential recovery wont of helped.

    Just started reading Down South (at Ascension at the moment) – thats where the idle curiosity come about. He seems to have a typical Naval Officers attitude to the seamen under his chain of command (to be not seen and not heard).

    Great pictures and interesting, Having been stationed at the Party Base just down the road I recognise these places. I seem to remember the buildings around the railway station showing signs of the battle even in the early 90’s

    Make sure you goto Kev’s pub and Alfredo’s in Weeze.

    Ive always liked the JU86. One survivor in Sweden – operational from mid 1930’s to 1958.

    possibly lakenheath with a stretch of the imagination..

    although the trees appear to close……. and not enough HAS’s

    sort of taken from the bomb dump area looking towards the eastly HAS site

    couple of Hush Houses there on google earth. vehicle parks in the area and the Starlifter possibly parked on the old cross runway.

    Yes, I should be doing some work!!

    Saying that it does look Germanyish to me.

    Just want to say thanks for the info here.

    This has helped me find more info in the last hour than I have found out over the last few years.

    It has even led me to a website that had indepth details of his squadron and a massive amount of info on the actual raid my great uncle was killed on (Dortmund-Ems Canal – Ladbergen 3/4 March 1945 467 Squadron RAAF – LM677 PO-V).

    http://www.galgos.co.uk/101.html

    I used to live a few miles from where Bobby was buried in Germany and visited his grave numerous times, and I took my mum over there a few years ago to visit (one of the things she wanted to do before she dies!).

    I have just phoned her and she is chuffed to bits as she knows some of the details of his loss but nothing as indepth as this.

    Thanks chaps from me and my mum.

    Bit of a thread drift…

    I was at Barnham a few times in my RAF career….never saw a Victor there….where was it, out of interest.

    Great picture of RAF Barnham on Google Earth in 1945!

    Ive also got the K2 parts catalogue if your interested.
