    Actually, I haven’t even picked it up yet mate! But I hear it’s Lanc-heavy this month, so I may actually have to go and buy it for once!!! 😮

    I’d be interested to know what were the last flying Halifax and Stirling, and when they both ‘died’.

    DazDaMan-I too wondered about ‘Baggy’ being in ‘A Good Clean Fight’, and checked back to POC; it doesn’t state exactly what happened to him after the portable loo where he was trapped by the knackers got blown across the airfield, although later a bog seat is being worn as ‘The Baggy Bletchley Memorial Trophy’ or something like that.

    I guess that while the assumption in POC was that he was killed, nothing was stated exactly and so DR either felt able to reuse the character, or did so by mistake and still got away with it!!!

    😉

    …hmm, we never did find out what happened to the rest of ‘Old Fred’, did we?!

    Some great posts here everyone, by the way.

    Never mind those noisy Nimrod things, I’d like to see Chatters come back as Bomber Leader or even OC BBMF one day. 😀

    By ‘usable runway’ I meant the length of it more than it’s surface condition.

    Sorry to argue with you mate, but I don’t think you could describe East Kirkby as an ‘airport with a runway that is in good nick’.
    The best you could say is that if it really, really came to it, and a ferry flight was needed, there’s enough usable runway to get her out of EK, but she’d have to land someplace else, or the EK runway would have to be totally renewed, to say nothing of the fact that it’s not on the same property as the museum!

    LOL, ‘JDK’ beat me to it-I was going to tell you the exact same thing!

    You need to be careful with that site though-their search engine is notoriously awkward!
    For example-

    I’ve been researching a ‘stanley cyril mitchell’. Typing that into their search engine didn’t find my man, but typing ‘cyril mitchell’ did-so you need to be aware of covering all your possibilities as you search the site/it’s results.

    sconner, cheers, I found your website after a bit of hunting, but it said that particular vid was out of stock?

    No, I’m not missing out on DVD’s-I have a multi-region machine, and regularly buy region 1 discs and shop around places like Play.com etc for the best prices, I was just unaware that you could get Region 1 discs sent over by Amazon!

    Fave Robinson book?

    ‘Piece of Cake’, by about a hundred miles! 😀

    “Where are we?” Cox asked.

    “Sticky ought to know,” Patterson said.

    “Sticky’s got his hands full at the moment”

    “Really? That stuff’s not worth keeping, Sticky,” Cattermole called out. “Chuck it away.”

    Hey, brill, I didn’t realise that you could order from international Amazon like that!

    MikeJ, what’s the DVD like? Good picture transfer? Individual episodes, or the long edits of the VHS version?
