Gosh that re-enactor really does look like Oddball in that second photo.
Is that guy on the right dressed as Sgt Oddball from Kelly’s Heroes?? What sort of event was this?

As mentioned one post above, the film was made in the Buckinghamshire village of Chalfont St Giles. It looks almost the same even today.

I ran the Dad’s Army Appreciate Society New Zealand Branch for over nine years, I have visited Thetford twice, and Chalfont St Giles where the film was mate, I know most of the surviving cast and Jimmy and David, and these days rather than the society which got all too much to handle with other things in life, I run a small section on my website dedicated to the series with info, etc here

And I run a fairly thriving forum for fans around the world where you’re all welcome to come and join and ask those questions you always wondered about. As well as lots of fans there’s a few experts there.

Thanks. It would be easier if that site had a search engine.
Though that site added some details to my list I could only match up two on the list without prefixes, which I have now deleted from the list above. Has anyone got any idea of those above as to their letter prefix in the serial number, and their suadron code letter? Thanks.
Thanks I will have a look through that site. Last time I looked for it I couldn’t find it.
What is the main item in your photo there Mark12? Is that a large turret?
So Bruce does that mean that there’s no way Jerry Yagen’s Mosquito can visit the UK?
Or does CAA turn a blind eye to a foreign-registered aircraft flying at their airshows but the same aircraft cannot fly on their register? That would seem very silly and one-eyed.
