RE: Reputation of the Lancaster

Actually, oh liable to spin for no reason one, I HAVE put my views on other aircraft on here before, so there!

Your photo doctoring skills are getting worse.

And stop comparing your lumbering old rusty Hallibags to the RAF’s finest 4-engined bomber of the war. Cheers.

RE: Low Flying

That picture looks suspiciously like it’s been doctored to me. Either that, or it’s a Halifax showing off it’s maximum bombing altitude with a full load again!!!

RE: One for Lancman

Oh, sorry, was this about low flying? I just thought it was another typical Halifax about to dive into the ground for no apparent reason!!!

RE: Picture of the day 10/12/01

It’s NOT a Halifax, so I say HURRAH!!!:P

RE: On the box

I always wonder, can you just imagine what aircraft are lying about at the bottom of the North Sea? If only lost aircraft types could generate the same high-profile interest as famous lost ships for a change, and then maybe we’d finally get to see (And probably laugh at) a Stirling for example.

RE: On the box

Aw, cheers Philo! I just thought the daily picture thing was pushing other topics down a bit quickly.

Ant, I know you’re not an expert mate, but you do bother to check these things and let us all know, for which we’re grateful! Last I heard the programme was being re-named ‘Night Flight’ and was going to be on in November…I’m still waiting! It will probably be rubbish anyway, but I just want to see that Lanc at speed up on her tippy-toes…I’m guessing it will be on after Christmas now though at least.

RE: Hendon

Sugar had a pretty good cockpit, so-so navigator’s station, good wireless ops station, so-so nose compartment and no engineer’s panel whatsoever. The rest of the fuselage fittings were pretty scarce, but she still had a lovely atmosphere inside. Structuraly she’s supposed ot be in quite poor condition, so I doubt they’d ever hang her up like an Airfix kit anyway!
