Thanks Andy.
Incoming…! :eagerness:

From Chorley’s BCL Vol.7, and my own files:

Took off at 1929 for a night navigation exercise, but clipped a tree and crashed at Hoton, near Loughborough.

Crew:
J/85070 Sergeant L A Peers RCAF (Inj) (Aged 25)
1148933 Sergeant D Potter (Inj) (Aged 21)
R125364 Flight Sergeant J B Jamieson RCAF + (Aged 25)

Sergeant Jamieson was the son of Dr A Jamieson and Eva B Jamieson of Ottawa, Canada. He is buried at Burton-on-the-Wolds Cemetery.
On 30 November, Sgt Potter died of his injuries. He was buried at Middlesborought (St Acklam) Cemetery.
Sgt Peers (by then promoted to Pilot Officer) later served with 624 Sqn in the Middle East, on 14:07:1944, his Halifax JN888 ‘T’ failed to return from a SD flight over France. It crashed into the side of Pic de Douly, 1500m asl. More here and here.
He and his crew (F/O Albert John Baythorp R.A.F.V.R., Sgt. Jack Brooke R.A.F.V.R., Sgt. Harry Clarke R.A.F.V.R., F/O Charles Spencer Goble R.A.F.V.R., Sgt. James Arthur Walsh R.A.F.V.R., Sgt. William Ronald Wharmby R.A.F.V.R.) are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial.

It may be of interest that while searching for one Wellington crash site at Hoton a few years ago (N2764), the farmer mentioned to me that the tree that this aircraft hit was previously struck by another, and had crashed in the adjacent field, further down the hill.
Investigation revealed a second concentration of fragments.

Remarkable shots. Thanks M-62A.

Andy – Thanks for that! PM inbound. 🙂

What has happened to the wreckage of Defiant N3378, which was displayed as a crash diorama?

Very nice Butcherbird! 😀

I do believe it deserves a wider audience… 😉

Don

Simple answer to that question is “No.”

I seldom watch TV; the programmes that I do watch are recorded to my PVR, so I can skip the annoying overly loud BS that assaults one’s senses during the ad breaks.

I don’t recall a single instance of me ever having bought something through having seen some vacuous celeb advertising it on TV.

I do remember ads from years ago because they had novelty value, I suppose and were often very amusing

The ones that spring to mind here is the one for “Meow Mix” cat food, “Kia-Ora” and “Um Bongo”.
(Latter two were revolting, and I can’t possibly comment on how tasty the cat food was.)

The so-called “Howden Moor Incident”…

BSG-75, Andy in Beds,

If a quick Google caused a chuckle, these links will have you in hysterics.

Maxwell Burns’ (chief nutjob in all this) Check the Evidence page.

Sheffield UFO Incident – We may have proof

A lengthy thread on The Sheffield Forum, where some chap (skiptor) has found jet engine turbine blades in Grenoside woods. The aforementioned Maxwell Burns posts on there, under the name maxwell1.
There are photos of the turbine blades buried in the depths of the thread – Those blades have clearly never been in an aircraft, much less a crash.

And finally, a link by “serious” UFOlogists, where they hoax Burns.
This made ME chuckle.

Max Burns Hoax

Enjoy…

Sorry for the slight drift off topic, Mods… :diablo:
