I can get the new main website, but the link button to the message board on the new site does not seem to work at the moment.
But not from a “dig”, presumably?!
No Andy, That item is from a sea based recovery in Norway….or should I say off Norway
Lots of bits and pieces from different digs from the late 1970’s, too many and far too many types to name, But I do have this from a Me109-G model;)
I have been meaning to get to this museum for a while now. Looks like it has to be on the cards for next year. It is the nearest I am ever going to get to a B-26!
That alone would drag me to Legends, would that be in Max Spark’s markings I wonder?? .
I shall keep me fingers crossed that it will be there.
I have wondered if the ‘enemies’ referred to by the senior officer at the post flight debrief was really aimed at the Truman commitee?.
A great film of the pre-flight procedure, One of the most beautiful looking aircraft ever built..it just looks right 🙂
A Vacuum tanker for effluent/slurry.
T’was a good day indeed. Good luck and a thank you to all those involved.
The vehicles came from all over, with four from lads local to me. But out of all the vehicles and re-enactors this chap on the bicycle really looked the part!

Yes, a thought has been spared for Sgt Williams.
Absolutely wonderful! Not a type I was familiar with before, but a classic American good looker in my mind!
What a great story. Thanks Bruce.
I have seen the ‘B5 bomber’ Crew twice, Their tasteful displays of British aircrew clothing and equipment are in my mind second to none. To see how the kit was worn, and all of the different patterns is a must to see. The lads themselves actually look the part. Being of an age comparitive of RAF aircrew certainly helps paint the picture. In this context renactment is education.
What I cannot stand are the re-enactors who are largely overweight and of years befitting OAP’s who squeeeze themselves into uniforms thinking they ‘look the part’. give it up lads, you are not a good representation of the fighting man of the forties!
I see a chap at Sywell a couple of months ago, dressed as a LAC, all of 65 years old and hadnt had a wash for almost as long, well judging by the smell when we passed him!
What a smashing bloke he was, sad news.

Ahh…didn’t get that the gun cam footage was dug up with Mustang.
This was not the impression I had when watching the news report. He turned back with engine troubles upon reaching the enemy coast. Would the camera have contained a previous flights footage?. I would have thought fresh film was loaded for the next mission. Or am I missing something?
