    I’ve got a very old Sunday supplement article about it somewhere-an investigator is supposed to have taped the sounds of crews doing checks/flicking switches etc inside, and apparently there was once a crewman who ‘loved the plane so much he said he would haunt it’!!! He’s supposedly been seen hanging about the aircraft.

    Sounds like the stuff of nonsense to me, but I’ll see if I can find the article anyway. 😮

    Phew, I just escaped being on the list! I’m my wife’s carer, so I’m often online on and off all day, so that’s my excuse!

    (Plus the clubs won’t let me in because of my anorak with plane patches on!!!)

    Neil Dudgeon was excellent as Moggy-if you’re familiar with the book of POC, you’re sure to agree. He’s been in tons of TV and stage stuff ever since-many other POC faces have popped up in other things, though some have vanished without trace;

    Off the top of my head, I ‘ve seen…

    ****y Star-been in a Casualty and a Bill
    Pip Patterson-Touch Of Frost
    Fanny Barton-a few Aussie films, now a Sinatra impersonator!

    Skull-TONS of stuff
    ‘Uncle’-even more TONS of stuff
    Fitz-chick flicks!
    Flash-Inspector Linley

    …or you could also make a nice stone bridge with water beneath, and craftily suspend a Mark IX beneath it, ‘Piece Of Cake’ style!
