Nice work John, like all good things, much of the hard work done is never seen by others but the rewards are great for the participant. Keep up the good work buddy.

Hee Hee, it doesn't feel like that sometimes, it can be mightily frustrating

Thanks for the ongoing support though

Talking of bits of aircraft picked up an interesting tidbit on Wings over NZ forum. Apparently there is one going to excavated starting tomorrow in Germany. This is a link to the forum article http://rnzaf.proboards.com/index.cgi?bo ... read=13171 and the previous one with more information about the aircraft http://rnzaf.proboards.com/index.cgi?bo ... read=12949 for any interested parties. I have had correspondence with Uwe and he and his team are very careful with these excavations. There is a link to their website on the threads above and I sure you guys will love browsing it if you havent already. Lets hope they get whole chunks out complete.

It belongs to Martin (Hindenburg) and a useful source of info it is too

Hello John L. and thanks for the post ............... I've noticed that Martin has joined on to the forum, which is great and hope to hear a bit more about this 'item'.
Hello 'Oggie' thanks for the update. Dom 'Skintman' has just sent me the photos of the dig, for which i have now posted.
Regards,
John

Youre welcome.... One of these days my Sgt and I will get our asses into gear and come visit you and the Pathfinder Museum but theres so much to do and so little time...

No problem Oggie, now that we're away from Wyton access is much easier for all of us. But the PFF museum is worth a visit if only to see our FN5 front turret and the FN7 cupola which we have on loan to them
