Was Mayfly there in her capacity as an Armourer, so she could replace the safety pins after SM had been hanging in the bomb bay? I bet he got a shock when he hit the concrete at Wellsbourne. Who told him he was going to Port Stanley?

Even with 301's the aircraft was only rated for 21,000lbs bomb bay load!! =))

For those of us not 'In the know' as it were - what is the significance of this??

I see one plane in the distance - and another plane nearer - and then a red car appears and SM gets out rather sheepishly.

Please explain to the uninitiated

Edit - I think I now see 558 in the very distance - but still need said explanation

2nd Edit - Is it actually 655 and this is Wellsbourne

Still unsure what's going on

by **Wedgy** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 3:08 pm

You haven't read the Wellesbourne thread then

(points Spitfire to SM and Crew Chief's posts

)

by **Mayfly** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 3:42 pm

SM did a 'Tiddles' and stowed away in 655.... =))

by **MadNaddy** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 6:04 pm

Nice one - Well Done that man

Aha .... with it now - what an excellent day everyone seems to have had - surely a unique event

As for SM getting a ride inside XM655 - he still can't see 3d pictures :))

I'm not jealous

Seriously though - good on you SM - what an experience :ymapplause:

by **Saracenman** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 6:28 pm

perhaps i selflessly owe everyone a full description of my FANTASTIC experience on Sunday at Wellesbourne

if you do/don't want to hear about it, let me know and I'll tell you/go back under my rock

wotzit to be?

YOUR BARRED

by **Jigsaw** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 6:32 pm

I wanna read it NOW SM

by **Gully** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 6:32 pm

Can we hear it from Tiddles instead, please?! :))

Gully

by **Spitfire** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 6:34 pm

Oh yes - you definitely owe a full illustrated description of every second to those of us stuck in the outposts of the land and not lucky enough to be there in person.

Including HOW it came about - and WHY

'I gots to know' B-)

by **Saracenman** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 6:37 pm

sorry - can't tell you - I'm barred apparently :((

perhaps if pressure were applied in the right area......................
