Three Spool
Who made you master and commander to what we can and cannot say on any particular thread.
Does each topic need to have an single thread dedicated to it discussion?
I am sure that a general discussion forum can be exactly that and indeed each thread can evolve from one subject to another easily without the need to stay on topic.
Is it just me or do some people just always have to have order or their brain turns to jelly.
Just my observation.
Hey Jim
No one should ever have to do something on here on my account.
They can closed or delete this thread too if it gets too silly.

Sorry for asking Kabir and on that note thanks for pointing out that we can PM you or other mods for this reason if we feel its required.
It just came to an abrupt end and I felt that I still had somewhere to go with it.
I accept and support the mods of this forum and their reasons fully without question.
Thank you for doing the job that I would not like to do myself. Well not now anyhow. I would have at one point but not now.

Arthur possibly not but it was right after I posted so was just asking the question.
Might just ask Kabir to lock or delete this one too.
To be honest there is a lot to say about PC but its all just swings and roundabouts with everyone with different opinions.

Blatant swearing on forum even when covered up with ****** all over the place isnt really on. A certain amount of it can be tolerated and can be used in some cases to accent a point or has to be used to tell a story but I really dont see any place for it on here.
I in fact am really bad for swearing on a daily basis. But here’s a question Arthur is it PC or not to swear. It is as much a part of my daily dialect as any of my other few thousand word I use. And I have used swear words occasionally on the forum and I hope that they were taken the way they were intended and not just as an abusive rant etc.
As general observation Rules and limits are often broken without consequence but when common sense is ingnored thats when it becomes serious.
Anyway I wanted to ask the question if it was acceptable and within the forum rules to say that an issue or rules or if something is PC or not is all a load of balls anyhow.
Arthur maybe if they are that weak or spinless they need to be put out of their misery and would need a Reapercushion. Not thats not a PC subject to talk about is it. Youthanasia?
Arthur your entitled to your opinion as much as the next man but who are you to say that someones quote is a load of tripe or not. It did come from a very brave man who was made a lot wiser by his own misadventure in the first case. Its fine to make mistakes as long as we learn from them.
We are only human after all. We are not perfect.

Having now checked an online Spitfire reference it seems she was brought onto the squadron on the 5th of November 1940 having only been with the MU previous in October.
Sorry for getting a little excited and going off half cocked.
Right going to have to look up my book properly now but I was sure elsewhere she was listed as flying during the Bob. Excuse my ignorance if I am wrong.
I am going to go check my facts before I post any more.
As posted there is one of an XT-W aircraft in a line of three at the back but it is possible that this was an earlier aircraft and there is no serial visable.
Back to the drawing board I got excited too soon.
Thats why I was asking for photos mid to late 40s.
Its P7550. I think she would be the only W on the squadron at that time. As far as I can make out she was a BoB aircraft and came to grief with Bernard Clare Webber at the controls 31/12/1940.
Looking for photos of P7550 as XT-W with or without pilot. I would also like to find a photo of Webber but I know this might be a long shot.
Thanks Daz,
I was looking at getting the Hillary book so will have a look in there at some point.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I was hoping not to have to bother people as such at least not yet anyhow.
I might contact the museum of flight at East Fortune and see if they have anything I can have a look at.
I was seriously hoping that there would be something online.
Only one possible picture so far.
