JERICHO
HENRI CALEF

FRANCE 1945
Lang.: FRENCH; Length: 95 MIN

. Once the French film industry was able to make WWII epics, it did so with
a vengeance. Jericho is the true story of the bombing of the Nazi-held prison
at Amiens. It is argued that, while the RAF took an enormous public-relations
risk in the bombing, the end result was largely salutary, resulting in freedom
for 50 French hostages. The dramatic portions of the film share space with
newsreel footage of the actual attack. One of the better films of its kind,
Jericho failed to make a dent in the U.S. market, which at the time was
inundated with war pictures.

Moggy – I think that is the same sugar beet factory at Bury where a scene from Dad’s Army was filmed. Do they have a big reservoir? If so, it appeared in the episode ‘The Lion Has ‘Phones’

Here is one I took at former RNZAF Base Wigram in Christchurch, though it looks more like sunrise, but I cannot recall why on earth I’d be at work that early. The sillouette is No. 5 Hangar

I think it is wholely appropriate that a memorial be erected, and the ATC should be involved so they can learn that people made mistakes in war too. And that mistakes can be tragic, if you disregard orders or advice, but they should learn that those fleeting seconds of decision that caused the situation should not detract from 20 or 30 or more years of life that each individual had acheived. No doubt this was not a new crew, I’m sure they’d already proven their worth to their country and Empire many times, and the crew’s final act should not be used to wipe all that went before off the slate.

Sidestep those who were not keen and approach it through someone else if you can, but definately do it if you feel strongly enough about creating the memorial.

Whether the memorial comes to fruition or not, you have educated a few of us here right now about these men and the very fact that you have done the research and perpetuated their memory here means they are not forgotten. Your work is very admirable.

The OFMC’s Yak 3 is probably flying by now (it was hoped to fly before Classic Fighters but missed out). I don’t know if you’ll see it in the UK though.

Good greif, you Poms are such picky whingers, you’ll find something to have a go at in any positive move. Why do you do this???

Jonathan’s suggestion is not outragious or detrimental to the Warbirds movement. It harms no-one, it benefits many. Stop having a go at him for doing his job.

There must be thousands of tourists visiting the Cambridge/East Anglia region who might hear about the museum for the first time whilst planning their holiday, and want to know what they’ll see. The IWM site MUST provide such information and not rely on others to do so, otherwise they’ll surely miss out on customers.

Actually, I think that the majority (i.e. 99.99999%) of visitors couldn’t care less what aircraft the museum has.

I’d dispute that. Many people hear about the IWM at Duxford and want to investigate further what’s there – if their own website hasn’t got a list of their own exhibits, it’s very unhelpful and reflects badly on the museum. People are not going to know to look up some obscure site run by a private individual, are they? Most people would assume the official site would cater to your needs.

The RNZAF Museum’s site used to not hae an aircraft list. I contacted them and asked if they could provide one, and they said they were updating the site after many enquiries for a list, which they did add. Now anyone is able to look it up and see the complete list. Easy.

A website that lists only part of the aircraft collection on show (missing out gems such as Sally B, the various Spitfires, Blenheims, etc, which is what many people go to Duxford to see) would serve only to confuse, IMO

Not if the websites of those other collections on site are linked below Jonathan’s list as I suggested way earlier – it is that simple. All he has to do is add a footnote stating as well as the IWM collection there is more to see on the airfield, including… link…link…link

How hard is that???

And the kind of people you seem to be targeting about this wouldn’t bother paying the £12 per adult entry if they already know what to expect when they get there.

Eh?? I would never go to a museum, especially if you have to pay, without finding out what is there first. It’s simple logic to me to see what they have to offer before going there. Why go somewhere you know zilch about, there’s nothing that could possibly make me go if I don’t know what Ill see.

Personally i don’t see what your aim is when there are so many places that you can find information about the aircraft in the collection, books and the internet

Possibly because the IWM site is the OFFICIAL website of the museum and all museums should list what exhibits they have on display so the public can decide whether or not to visit? Simple logic again. I think it is absolutely amazing that the site hasn’t previously listed the aircraft in the collection – that’s a basic fundamental of an aircraft museum collection’s website.
