Hi

Just been out to have a look, soak up some of the sunshine which we rarely have and rode the PF down, as I thought it was a nice day!

Saw Rick and his dad there, and it was quite a good day, a nice ride too!

Cheers

Dave

Hi

Yep, I remember looking at that when my Granddad was alive, we used to go for a walk by the river, and then he used to tell me how they never recovered the plane, so it is somewhere down there!

Cheers

Hi

I don't think he was, I think he was in Wales at the time, or more to the point in the RAF so probably abroad somewhere.

Seemed to know alot about it though.

Cheers

Dave

You are not supposed to bump into a PF, someone is likely to get hurt. Laughing
