Oh for Christ’s sake. Not another conspiracy theory.

Those who know me will be aware of my opinions on conspiracy theories/ theorists, and at least one Forum member is familiar with my recent experiences with a few. These range from the “missing” Mitchell crewman who wandered off dazed from the crash, to the unidentified US Thunderbolt that must have been carrying some top-secret equipment, to the best one – The “proven crash site of the RAF Tornado” which was (allegedly) shot down by a UFO during the so-called Howden Moor Incident.

No more. Please. Enough.

(Can a Moderator please flag this thread as “conspiracy theorist B.S.”? Thanks.)

TO23,

No worries, and yes – I’m still interested in those scans. Thanks! 🙂

Thanks chaps.

I think I should have enough material to make an educated guess as to the appearance of LB415.

Both models of the Oxford and the Lancaster will appear on my thread over on The Airfix Tribute Forum in due course (I post there under the name DonB).
Perhaps I should open a similar thread here? 😉

Kind Regards,

Don (Critter592)

Trainspotters? How dare you! :dev2:;)

Ferroequinologists. “Railway enthusiasts” is also acceptable. 😉

Denis, Graham Boak,

Thanks for that.
Would I be correct in saying that “my” Oxford would have had some camouflage, rather than being all-yellow?
I’m thinking that she would have been similar in appearance to PG943, as seen on this decal sheet from Hannants.

I have some colour pictures on file of the RAFM Oxford when it was displayed at NAM; IIRC it wore the BAT Flight markings from a unit at RAF Spittlegate near Grantham. Might these help?

Thanks TO23.
Yes, they would be most appreciated, if only to give me an idea of the size of the markings, positioning, etc.

Also, would I be correct to suggest that the Oxford you’re modelling is the one which is jointly commemorated at the Screveton memorial in Nottinghamshire?

It certainly is.
I am also working on a model of W4103; fortunately I do have a photo of this aircraft.
I have developed quite a close connection with this accident. I attend the memorial service every year, which is organised by a lady from the village.
There are always many relatives from both crews in attendance.
I have pages for both aircraft on my Website – Link is in my signature! 🙂

Following the discovery of the remains of King Richard III under a Leicester car park, a caption for this photo could be:

“Another Dick found in car park!”

I’ll get me coat… :diablo:

There is a good photo of a line-up of 7 Squadron Stirlings in David Earl’s book, Hell on High Ground 2.
Among them is N6075, MG-A.
Later, while attached to the conversion flight with 101 Squadron, (and coded SR-W3), she crashed at Merryton Low, near Leek.

…The International Group for Hysterical Aviation Rumours…

Love it! 😀

And, for the record, if anyone IS up for recovering this aircraft, I’m in.
While I’m unable (at the moment)to contribute financially, myself and my trusty spade are available!

the stainless pin reminds me of some part of a browning mount, but not sure

I’m sure I have a similar part, which originated from a fieldwalk where I was looking for evidence of a P-47 crash.

Obviously Photoshopped. But funny. 😀

WV-903 – Have you got that pic? I’ve looked on the ‘Net, but can’t find it…
