No need for the “caravan club’ dig.

Offensive and uncalled for.

Eric was around from 1939.

His Sqn was sent to RAF Valley in May 1940 for a rest, and spent the BofB guarding Liverpool by night.

He didn’t miss it….!

Nice ‘good news’ story either way.

How to ruin a nice story.

Well done.

For once the Mail has a decent article, highlighting the exploits of the veterans we admire, and you have a personal rant.

Met Eric and he is possibly the most pleasant chap of that era that I have ever met. Unassuming, funny and humble about his exploits. Great tale-teller too!

“The war diaries of Helmut Lipfert”

Top of his class at flying school, go to Berlin, take an Me 109 with a mate as far east till you find fighting and join in. Stalingrad, and the retreat from there in the air.

Fascinating, and well recommended!

If you managed to achieve your ‘Wishlist”, would you then make the effort to come to Legends, unlike this year?

There are sufficient engineers on hand at Dux to assist and advise. If it’s good to go, then thats it.

Facts?

One flight only? reduced rpm? Land asap if any worries. Change prop on landing?

Who knows? The pilot for one…..

Wrong, Propstrike.

ARCo bought the aeroplane, the wings went on their Tiger (Reg defeats me), and the fuse was sold to Malta.

I owned the wings…:)

Nice to see the Lanc again.

I cycled 8 miles just to see it parked up, aged 14. Tried my best to blag my way onto the pan to see it close up, but failed!

Dick Richardson, manager at Popham airfield, was the crew chief on board and has many a tale to tell about the crossing!
