    I’ve come across an RAF publication called “Ground Gen for Airmen” all about living in the RAF.

    Was there such a thing as “bombing ground gen”?

    Good ideas, thanks.

    Here is a look at the formation of his letters which have a descender.

    I suspect they are both lower case letters.

    If it is lower case letters maybe it isn’t Gee which I assume would have been written with an upper case G

    Off the top of my head, summer ’68…

    I have all the pics of her arriving at HG and being handed over to the Air scouts…

    VM325 went to Carew in August 2005. It arrived in pieces on the back of 2 articulated lorries covered in tarpaulins. The story was covered by BBC Wales, ITV Wales and Radio Wales. I Didn’t know about the engine restorations though.

    See this thread http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=33537

    Nige and Roger – Would be grateful to see the pics plus any other Halfpenny Green reminiscences you may have…..

    I used to try and visit quite often as it’s not that far away but a £3 per visit charge would soon mount up so I won’t be doing this in the future.

    They may see a small drop in numbers but many visitors will still see it as a cheap visit compared to other attractions. This is what the museum is banking on. (I have stood at the entrance desk a number of times when visitors are surprised when they are told it’s free).

    One thing is for sure – if they don’t get complaints and don’t see a large drop in numbers they will think it is acceptable to charge.

    Interestingly the wording on the museum site says that the Cosford charges will be used to support its’ sites (plural) not just Cosford site.

    Just a thought but will these guys now all have to pay to park up?

    FMS, do put a sock in it. You didn’t do your homework and the disappointment you keep bleating about is all of your own making. The words you’re looking for are quite simple:

    “Sorry I made a complete @rse of myself bleating about the Lancaster when it was off doing something far more important than titilating me at an airshow.”

    How rude. And how much it shows your lack of understanding of people who are not ardent aviation enthusiasts.
