Is this a special trainer version of the rare LCB-3? *
(I heard it was a very hard craft to fly.)

Amazing! What a find!

Glad no one was hurt, but of course a sad loss.

I am still inclined to keep them flying, despite the occasional accident.

Im afraid that I wont be able to post the story of the old gentleman, as the day after my last post, he was rushed into hospital with complications.

Sadly this afternoon, despite him fighting a hard and long struggle, he lost his battle and passed away.

On the many times I visited him he always apologised for not being fit enough to give his account of that day, but promised that he would one day feel up to it.

I have the few photographs that he took and I also have his copy of the Tripoli Trotter accounting the find of the missing US airmen, so in a tribute to the old guy, I will get them scanned and posted here as thats what he realy wanted.

RIP Mr. Emery

Another story lost to the sands of time…

RIP Mr. Emery

It was right to move LBG to a (semi) protected area in a big city, not just to protect against scavengers, but to be easily seen by others (if they ever make an exhibit)

So, TwinOtter, what does it say on the back of the helmets?

Damm, its cramped there!

And I thought a B-17 was tight.

Hah ! At last

The ONLY real reason to watch the event.

Wifey wants to see the frock, daughter wants to see Harry and I’ll be watching the flyby. Result.

LMAO!!

Well, it was a charming spectacle, and as I did not know of the BBMF was involved, was a nice surprise!

Cheerio!

Hi Paul, please check your references the Doner K3B4B Variant did not carry the additional Chilli sauce armament. 🙂 I believe we may be looking at a Doner K3B4B-WCS

Hummm, I do not think the tomato is the correct shade of red for the period.
It just does not match.

OH!, wait! Maybe its covered in oil, making it look a different coloUr! 😉

Good example: RAF 2nd WW Hotspur Glider/Spitfire Mk.1 ID Lamp

And where was that fitted exactly on a Spitfire?

It’s only worth about £6 and I’ve not seen one go for more than £8 so magically adding “Spitfire” to it makes it worth £50????

How did they power that lamp on an engine less glider??
Use the troops flashlight batteries?

I can positively say those rocks are NOT part of the Do217! 😉

Chris, can you put a ruler next to the items in question?
Hard to judge scale.

But don’t expect an answer, it could be anywhere.

I have analog control handle for a Bendix turret,

and a huge manual for Bendix turrets, all the parts, for several US aircraft and a Lanc and I think Halifax too.

Book weighs 10 pounds.

Terrible,

Ironically I am takeing care and flying a Cessna 172 by an owner who has not seen it in, gawd, maybe THREE years!

I keep telling him to go up, and he pays for a lot of the keep, but does not even see it.

I wonder how full his garage is?
