Sorry guys but if an aircraft is built to the same spec as a particular type of aircraft and is on a 1:1 scale then I am sorry I would call it a spit. Only on the paperwork would it be a replica and to the more technically minded people who would ask about her.

easy answer to that one is.

Any green you can get your hands on.

Imagine how many wartime factories there would have been producing dope for buildings vehicles and aircraft.

I suppose it all depends on which batch of paint yours came from.

Same as choosing wallpaper today. Always check the batch numbers.

money donations

Guys,

How I read the latest pledge of money is just like this.

They need £500000 to be recorded in their records to act as sufficient funds of their own to put up against the HLF.

They dont actually need this money until ,Or if, the HLF say yes.

So that means if you pledge money now you only need to give it to them IF the HLF say yes.

So it the HLF say no then your money is safe and you wont need to give a penny.

How I remember the website starting out was that the Vulcan WOULD fly no matter what.

Seems like they have let a lot of people down with false hope and promises.

I myself had a project to get done which was a memorial for a local aircrew. But I only said to the papers I hoped to get it done for 2003 the 60th anniversary.

That has now passed but I didnt promise anything and in actual fact I am now no nearer to getting the project finished than at the start. But I now know there is still a lot more research needing done to complete the story and a lot of fund raising before I even start. But by the completion of the research I hope the memorial will be bigger an better than before.

My point is they made promises where as I did not I mearly expressed my hopes of finishing at the 60th anniversary.

People I have a suggestion.

So we know where the camera is why dont we use this post to say that you have finished with it and the camera is now going onto ???

So heres how the post would look.

Scott Mcintosh (Merlin3945) finished 21/11/03 sent to Mark Crame (Snapper)

Could it be that simply but effective to know where the camera is at any one time. Also the same could apply when you receive it.

ie:-

Scott Mcintosh received 21/11/03

Anyone want to try this.

Surely everyone knows about the Halifax hen shed.

Locally to me there was a me109 cockpit being used as a small greenhouse. Also an old avro or wellington being used as a shed.

Well said Ant about illegal wreck recoveries.

But a database of missing items is impossible to maintain.

1 how would you know they were missing in the first place.

2 how many thousands of wreck sites are there to cover.

3 there are still bits waiting to be found at wreck sites all over.

I would suggest you contact the seller and if you are not satisfied with the answers contact the MOD if it is in Britain and let them investigate it. This will show if it is an illegal wreckologist group or not. Also I dont know what the legal stance is with selling bits on. I understand the Protection of Military Remains act states that you have the title of the items signed over to you if you list them in the items recovered to the MOD but after the title of goods changes hands you are not allowed to make any kind of finacial gain on them. So take that how you will.

East Fortune is “listed”, which means its a historic site and you can’t put up any new buildings. As the old lady is too big for the hangars on site, she sits out in the cold.
Dont know if they power up the electrics-cant remember if anthing was lit up when I visited the inside a few years ago.

Watch this space!!

I have heard some interesting things recently and just because the place is listed it doesnt mean that NO new building can go up at all it means there has to be far more considerations than for a non listed place.

If they get a Concorde it WILL be put inside. Also I gather everyone has heard of the money EF will be getting.
