Hi Dave, I don't know of any films made in the manner you are suggesting Dave. Studio Ghibli's approach to artwork as scene setting (and aviation in Proco Rosso ) is the nearest I've ever heard of.

I have a napkin ring made from durilium or aluminium - made by my granddad from Short Sunderland off-cuts. He made a lot of things at work when not helping the war effort,including simple games and puzzles I didn't know this, but when the family moved out of Driffield in 1988, the enlarger my dad made was mostly made from Short Sunderland scrap. It went in a skip!!!

Seems they had a good run. Great to hear at least 2 will survive, but surely more will be on display in civilian run museums. With air force maintenance, I bet they still have some service life is any operator gets a hold on them.

Cannot find a 'Liberator' crash, but I have located a mid-air collision on 19 June 1944, when two 379th BG B-17s collided, one - 44-6133 FR:Y coming down in the Thames estuary, somewhere in the region of Canvey Island and was later salvaged by 86MU while the other, 42-97942 FR:K crashed 'just east of Southend' and was destroyed by the ensuing fire.

The PTR 170 is a 12-channel UHF radio with a built-in ADF homing facility, although I believe there was a version without the homer. It's of late 1960s/early 1970s vintage. I don't have a comprehensive list of aircraft that used it but I do know that it was fitted to a number of the export Hunters, including mine, as a standby set. It was also fitted to some helicopters (e.g. Wasp, Sea King,...

And an awful lot of mis-identification!! How difficult is it to come up with some film of an Il-38??-or to find out that a Tu-16 is NOT a fighter bomber? or that an X-15 is NOT a missile!!

Matt - is your group involved with the MLA or Renaissance in your local area? If you are then your local Museum Development Officer could be a good point of advice. If not, try to find some local history groups or talk with the Planning Department at your local District Council.

Hello Gert. This is a well known wreck and more photo's can be seen here http://community.webshots.com/album/69170328YXUScm There are plans underway to recover the wreck and display it in the UK. RichardW Is heading up the project and I am sure will pop in here when he sees the thread title.
