Same here - :argh::argh::rofl:

[Redcap]

Ditto the concerns, lol

 

However, looking at the photos, I'm reminded of an old joke concerning aircraft... the form that the RAF use for certifying an aircraft fit to fly is the Form 600 (it's a book, really, rather than a form, but that's another story); in this, all manner of 'gripes' are written up, and the rectifications noted.

 

One pilot, annoyed with his ground crew, wrote..

 

Port Wing heavy.

 

The solution entered was "Port trim tab adjusted"

 

The pilot next entered Starboard Wing heavy.

 

The solution entered was "Starboard trim tab adjusted"

 

Determined to get his own back, the pilot then entered "Both Wings heavy"

 

This being April First, the ground Crew Flight Sergeant then entered "MO asked to put pilot on steroids"

So why has the Spit got different i.d. numbers on each side? To confuse eye witnesses?

[Bodge Deep]

Looks like initials for Duxford one side IWM on the other... curious

[Tony B]

I like the one'Aircraft won't fly straight'

to which the reply was 'Aircraft told to fly at attention'

 

A couple of others 'Radio hums'

Radio taught the words

 

And best of all: Auto landing very rough

 

!!!!! This aircraft not fitted for auto landing.

Is it two different Spits - a head on crash ??

[Tony B]

Those cut & shut merchants at it again? Where did it originally come from anyway? Is it ex film prop?

[Jessie The Jeep]

More Form 600...

 

Pilot - "Port engine missing"

Mechanic - "Port engine found on wing after brief search"

 

Pilot - "Dead bugs on windshield"

Mechanic - "Live bugs on back order"

 

Pilot - "Evidence of oil leak on number one engine"

Mechanic - "Evidence removed!"

 

and on one airline it was costomary for the pilot to stand at the door and say goodbye to the passengers as they left. After a very rough landing, an old lady came to the pilot and said....

 

"Did we land or were we shot down!"

From what someone said,........and I don't know if its true, I believe it was used in Foyles War

[Tony B]

The Great War Neuiport copy the 10th Essex have is from the film made about American flyers. Nice to see the stuff reused.

That looks like the IWM Duxford spitfire mock-up. It was damaged last year when it was caught by high winds and rolled over on the airfield. As such it's had lots of practice at embedding itself in the ground. The last time I saw it, it was in pieces in one of the small shelters, but I had heard it had been fixed up.

Yep, it's the ex-Duxford one. The East of England Military Museum now own it (as well as the Mk IV Tank we had over our trench at Kelmarsh), the same chaps that had the Comet, Universal Carriers, 6 pounder, 17 pounder and other vehicles last year, and I presume this year

Likewise mate:-D

[thedawnpatrol]

It came from the IWM Duxford, it was badly damaged two years ago in a storm, it was gifted to the East England Military Museum, who have made a very good job of rebuilding it..........honest!

This would be the unfortunate Spit, taken January 07, not long after it happened.

The RAF form is the 700 series not the 600 , this is the log for any faults and repairs, modifications, snags.

[Lauren Child]

nice to see its been given a new home I really should pop down to the East of England museum again - it's a great place.
