May he rest in peace.

Robsky, first of all well done putting up the memorials in the first place.

havent heard of this kind of thing happening too often even in the bad old days….I would be pretty sure that it was probably the same sort of mindless a**holes you get in any part of the civilised world , i doubt if there were political overtones unless of the public house variety !

Would be interested in visiting, i have relations west of Omagh so am in the area pretty often, Can you give me more details either here or by PM?

Sad to hear that another of thsoe to whom the free world owes so much has left us.

As has already been said he came across as a true , very modest gentleman on the various TV interviews that i have seen.

May he rest in peace.

…..And another series that i’d like to see again (this time on Channel 4) would be Classic Aircraft. I’ve got five episodes (i don’t know how many were made).:D[/QUOTE]

Has been shown a fair few times over on some of the Sky channels. great to watch all the same.

No just meteors, I looked.

Yeah? Saw some stuff i couldnt recognise and waiting for the broadband here to update is slower than the pony express, so what was there?

I wouldn’t shout this too loud otherwise you will get a stream of spam e-mails saying ” my dear departed brother/husband/father left me this Old wartime fighter and I don’t know what to do with it, we are short of food etc, please send us your bank details etc.etc..”

Reckon most of those originate from a bit further south than the sahara !

It could be a fascinating source of finds, but as has been said the shifting sands of the desert will probably re-cover a lot of un-covered stuff before it is discovered.

But then there is another aspect to think about, what about all those classics that ended up in the hands of various North African and Middle Eastern countries just after WW2 ? I am thinking of those google earth images from ,was it Syria?, a while ago that someone posted here showing possible Spitfire and Meteor remains used as decoys. Wonder what else is out there in some of these former or still intact dictatorships ?
