I'm sure I mentioned this some time ago in a post but I can't remember in relation to what.... :-?

I haven't looked at the vids [yet] but haven't they been looking at this for some time or am I thinking of something else?




EDIT: Here it is http://www.iconicaircraft.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4512&p=175917&hilit=dornier+17#p175917

It was the souvenir hunters I was thinking about,
In memory of a very dear friend - Mike Pearson

Very fond memories of Robbie Gilvary - DTs 1st Vulcan Captain who taught DT all he knew.
