    Im still up for the trip down to EF. I would go just for the walk round the base on its own. Hopfully we will have time to rake about the woods behind the storage hangar. Reported to be bits of aircraft around there somewhere. Might be interesting. I also have a site plan of the area and an extended site plan for the rest of the airfield not on the main plan.

    Doesnt sound very user friendly at the moment but I suspect we have caught them at a bad time again.

    All the pilots that took the bother to attend any of the airshows I have been to or seen. Including all the ground crews and fire crews.

    To Johnathon Whaley for giving us what must be the worlds most colourful Hunter. For the owner / pilot of Foxy Lady who stepped into the breech during the 2002 airshow with a gap to fill.

    And to Ashley who keeps this forum on its toes and going strong and for the little things she does like getting her feather duster out every once in a while to clean up the exibits.

    You know it seems to me that you are all going on about stories and half truths.

    Wouldnt it be better and more productive if you just emailed, phoned or sent a letter to Ray Hanna or one of the OFMC team.

    Nuff said.

    There are a hell of a lot of RAF aircraft out there that have NO WAR ROLE but are still operational.

    Take the RAF rescue helicopters or Search an Rescue or ALL the Training aircraft.

    Therefore BBMF ARE OPERATIONAL as instructional or teaching aircraft.

    ***Then again what do I know the CAA knows everything.***

    ***Unfortunately too many people need to be protected from their own stupidity and from other peoples stupidity. Look around you any day a it is painfully clear.***

    I couldnt agree more with both of these statements.

    Isnt it the amount of deaths and injuries that resulted in the sport being regulated in the first place.

    I wonder how long it will be before the CAA regulate the whole sport again seeing as we are in this terribly PC country.

    I think the point is that it is interesting to see where these once fine aircraft have ended up.

    Anyhow if you want to take a pop at people being sick try this for size.

    Just take a look at my membership details above my avtar and see what I do with aircraft.

    In case you cant work it out I dig up crashed aircraft.

    Better still is their anyone on this board with a copy of the Defiant Crash Log that can look up if there were any that crash into or near Loch Ness.

    I have no knowledge of this particular area as it is well outside my research area at the moment but interesting all the same.

    If it is Keith Mitchells Beaufighter then sadly it is no longer with us having been too badly damaged in a heavy bump with the ground during a torpedo drop.

    It bump nastily on the ground rose up and smashed into the ground.

    As far as the story I got told goes anyway.
