I happened to see the Vampire pass overhead on Saturday as we were on the Stratford canal. Made my day!

I’m asking because I don’t know, not pointing a finger

The report says:

He requested the aircraft to be refuelled to full and this was carried out by the two ground crew

Is there a reason for the aircraft to be refuelled to full for display work?

It’s a sleeping dragon. Nazis put it there to guard their loot.

Ahhhh, deHavilland!

I don’t have anything to add about Shoreham. I do have something about this thread.

Where else am I going to go to get sensible comment on this event? The popular media are just not well informed enough to give reasoned, thoughtful and importantly peer moderated observations on this incident, which is what I get here.

I think I have been around the Internet long enough to spot posters with personal agendas, and to appreciate folk who know their stuff and share it thoughtfully

Please, leave this thread open. It’s a patch of sanity in the furore of ‘news’ following this terrible accident

Richard

Apologies to anyone finding any incongruity in calling this place sane.

Good work Rich.

you know, I very nearly bunged my tool kit in the car and drove all the way from Kenilworth to come and see what your problem was

News just in from Chris:

I spoke to Lou again and he remembers seeing the Wellington come down. He mentioned that another local old boy has a Players Weights cigarette packet with the names of the crew on it. I will have to investigate further.

I was down on the beach at low tide again today and found another mystery object. It may be nothing. It’s a chunk of corroded metal about 15cm long x 3cm at its widest. There seems to be a plug of lead in the end. Also, about 40mm from the thickest end it could have a hexagonal nut as there are some definite flats.

It could well be something maritime but I wondered if anyone had any idea what it might be.

This forum is rapidly becoming the place to go to identify big black round things on beaches

I wonder if it was some kind of fender from a pier or floating platform.

Is a medium-sized dog considered to be a UMD?

Shall I see if Aggie is available?

Andy, I hope you don’t mind, I’ve copied that report onto the NGRM forum as it illustrates the story of the tyre

Maybe this is a racing slick

That’s a great result

Redhillwings, I have sent you a PM. I’m a bit of a walk from Redhill, so I’ll make a note and claim my mug of tea at a later date
