Thanks to Rob (aka Wyvernfan), Chris and Mark for clearing the yard the other week – greaty appreciated – should have a useable dedicated workshop for the project within a matter of weeks.

In terms of events an airfield walk is shortly to be confirmed for April/May. We are hosting a Friends of the Eight meeting on June 22nd. We also have an open day at the end of September.

Otherwise the museum will be open by appointment.

http://www.bottishamairfieldmuseum.org.uk will shortly be updated with full details.

Cheers

August 18 1944

The midair occurred on August 18 1944 when a lone 78th FG P-47 flown by Jack Miller flew through the whole of the 361st FG as they were in the pattern to land – unfortunately both Miller & 2nd Lt. Milton Dahl of the 361st FG were killed.

Rob has been been out for a walk with Peter Dawson an eyewitness to the crash.

Yes that looks right -even though it has come down in price it is still beyond our budget.

We also need one

Watching intently as we also need one for the Bottisham Airfield Museum P-51Mustang cockpit replica.

If anyone has any leads they would be greatly appreciated.

Tony,

We have been looking for a year already.

Maurice has a set but is not willing to part with them – has offered us the chance to come & measure them.

We have aquired some lower longerons but are really struggling with top longerons.

We have even tried John Seevers in the US who does the replacement longerons.

I think it is the same old story of full-size restorers not wanting to pass on parts in case they come back to bite them later on in terms of provenance/identity.

On the plus side we have just acquired a working N9 gunsight.

Catch up soon.

Would love to join you.

Have a look at http://www.controltowers.co.uk/8%20list%201.htm

Also have a copy of Airfields of the 8th if you want to borrow it.

Also the tourist board produced a map of the 8th AF bases which I may still have if you need a copy.

Cheers

Anyone know if P-51D Mary Mine is stored their?

I believe it is owned by Baron Corp which maybe one of the WoGB holding companies. There have been conflicting rumours of its whereabouts – some say Greenham Common – some say Florida.

Mary Mine is the sole surviving original 361st FG P-51 complete with combat hsitory and confirmed kills – seems a shame for a 8th AF vet. to be in storage.

Any info much appreciated.

Cheers

Rob,

Good to see you giving them a good airing.

I think its great to see these slightly less obvious machines being kept alive – a pleasant change to Spitfires.

Look forward to more progress.

Cheers
