    RE: Lanc squad colors

    From memory, weren’t the yellow outlines particular to just one Group-5 rings a bell?

    RE: Hendon free entry

    Oh goody, maybe now they’ll speed up that Hampden, let poor S-Sugar down off her silly perch, and fix up that rusty old bomber, eh Halibag mate?!

    RE: Lanc squad colors

    Was it just the RCAF sqdns. that did this?

    RE: Lancaster NX 611

    I would guess that as it was listed in the ‘new season’ preview thing I saw on BBC teletext, it may well be this end of the year-I hope so, anyway! It’s not on in the next fortnight for sure, but let’s all keep our eyes peeled-and hope the film of ‘611 tail-high at speed is worth the wait!

    RE: Another for Lancman

    😛 Ha ha you guys are SO easy to wind up! Of COURSE I know all the pros and cons of the two engine types on the Lanc, I am after all THE Lancman!

    Post a Halifax picture? Wash your radials out with soap!

    RE: Glenn Miller Mystery

    Halibag, no, grandad knew nothing about the little plane seen by the Lanc crew-it wasn’t one of ‘his’ at the time, and as far as he knows, the story didn’t make it around the squadron or anything like that.

    You haven’t missed it mate, I’ve been waiting for it for ages too! Currently on BBC teletext there is a preview section for the coming year and it’s mentioned there as a ‘one-off drama’ and is still called ‘Night Flight’. Everyone keep their eyes peeled for this one!

    RE: Another for Lancman

    Well spotted! Personally I don’t think the radials ever suited the Lanc, they were chunky, lumpy looking engines, and not as good as the Merlin of course, but cheers anyway!

    RE: Glem Miller Mystery

    There was nothing new as such in the programme, I knew about all of this from a book called ‘Failed To Return’ that was out years and years ago, but it was still a very good show-I took even greater interest as my grandad was ground crew on the Lanc squadron involved, 149.

    Hurrah! I hope they put the standard version back out too, that was a fantastic kit.

    Yes Halibag I knew that, but then there are probably parts representing most of the wartime RAF up there in ‘474!

    Mentioning the Halifax wreck, I was particularly struck by it on a recent visit to Hendon, after not having been for a good few years-it really does make you think.

    Indeed, I think the old BBMF has been around for so many years now, this is actually a sight a lot of us take for granted. But, it IS one hell of a sight-who’d have thought, all these years after the war, that there would still be a Lanc and it’s little friends in our skies?
