    Cant remember what this is. And too damned lazy or tired right now to look it up but I think its an IL22 or IL28 or something like that. Ukranian anyhow. Sure was an impressive sight to see anyway.

    just another test in case the first was a fluke. different pic this time.

    if it comes up then it must just be certain users that have problems at the moment.

    strange though.

    Radioactive Instruments.

    Guys, Guys, Guys.

    If you lot are worrying about radioactive instruments then dont.

    I have been told by a reliable source that you wont be in any danger or radiation while collecting these instruments. However a few donts are dont open the instrument up if it can be helped dont allow long term contact with your skin or close to your person ie. In your pocket for long periods of time.

    I think a little respect of the radioactive instruments is all that is needed. Museums have to be careful because of the possibility of being sued when someone claims that their aircraft gave them radiation poisoning or Cancer.

    We cant be stopped from collecting radioactive instruments so if they are so dangerous why has there been no national appeal for collectors to give up their instruments.

    If anyone is in any doubt or wants to get rid of any Radioactive instruments then please send them to me. I will find good homes for all of them. Although not at the Museum of Flight as some person did.

    He went down to the M of F and asked if they wanted them. They said no as they were radioactive and sent him on his way. (I would have taken them from him for safe keeping and then handed them onto the authorities to avoid what I am gooing to say next) He then dumped them at the museum exit and when they locked the gate for the night found them and sparked off a radiation alert as per their guidelines.

    I think this was rather silly on a few accounts but thats what happened.

    Anyone know who he was or was it you.

    Please contact me.

    Hudson losses in Fife. Possibly Leuchars.

    Guys anyone have any info on these losses aswell.

    Hudson bombers this time.

    “”In the early days at Leuchars, I designed the IFF installation for a Hudson bomber and arranged a flight test from Leuchars. As we took off to fly over the North Sea we were treated to the sight of some six or seven carcasses of Hudsons in the fields of Fife. Apparently the aircraft had a special, small fuel tank containing high-octane fuel for the take-off. The pilot had to switch manually to the main tank within, I think 90 seconds after take-off. Perhaps the first Hudsons destined for the RAF arrived without instruction manuals.””

    thanks again.
