    I have just let Nils know about your request, after all the thread is a little old and he might not see it for some time!

    The first bus image that features the pilot re-enactor cries out to be a caption contest;)

    Denis,

    I think I have the bottom half of the gas-ointment jar! Or at least a part that looks very much like it.

    Ah, but it might be to this bit. All found on a dispersed site next to the Gas Clothing and Equipment Store location.

    Also found on the airfield itself was this ‘Motley Stalk’ AA gun mount.

    This is the sort of hideous tripe that my mother in law would buy me. It seems that if you have an interest in aircraft, well meaning souls think this is the sort of tat you like!
    She also cuts out and sends me newspaper articles about airliners fer gawds sake..I cant stand the bloody things:(

    I know of three aircraft within 7 miles of my home. These have never been dug, on two the landowners concerned will never allow excavation.

    Its powered by small boys who are chained to a tread mill with Rosary beads.

    I am wondering what percentage of the British people are as interested in this visit as the media seem to be.

    Hopefully getting much fewer by the decade.
    Organised religion? phooey

    I did see other bits and pieces inside, but they were from several different types. No doubt someone will recognise the design soon:)
    Damn good museum though!

    Clive, you must get yourself up to East Kirkby in Lincolnshire to witness the sound of four Merlins at close quarters!
