.....and let's not forget, who resurrected the story of Brown and Hudners Corsairs, found Satellite intel showing the 2 ships,(and others) and provided a map to show their location. Amazing,when I first posted this piece, A MOH Corsair, and there was MINIMAL interest, now it appears there isn't. Quelle surprise.
Sometimes, I think this forum isn't about sharing a common hobby we all enjoy, it's about being unpaid research skivvies for certain individuals, who think it beneath themselves, to actually type anything on this forum, or as was reported to me,one eminent soul, who said that he found it amusing, that we were all chasing about after aircraft that he knew about a long time ago.
Newsflash, to that individual, your money doesn't impress me, you're a pr*ck.If you knew about some of the aircraft mentioned, why didn't you recover them? Pri*k. You can e-mail me for an explanation, but we've covered this ground before.
We chase and talk about aircraft and recovering them because we love doing it -full stop.
It makes me laugh, half the forum excited about Syrian Spitfires, but someone out there, just laughing, who knows the location, has photographs i suspect, but wants them all to his or her self. Late Newsflash. It will have to get a sh*tload more dangerous in Syria, to stop me going there, and Hamas is my favourite location, now am I getting warmer?
..and believe me, I have extracted airframes before that other people couldn't get.
I would love to be the guy who pulled a MOH Corsair out of the boonies, but I think the USN would raise Cain about it :0)
But, luckily, there are more things to look for.
The Maps, intel and everything else I researched, are back 7 pages.
I'll happily talk to anyone more about a recovery, BUT only when I know it can be done, not before.
