Hi Ross, thanks for that

The burgh island reports I read, state more than one fuselage, the only types being positively identified, were the catalinas. Also, I think it might have been David Burke who mentioned a Lancaster close to here, not to be confused with the Lanc at Plymouth Breakwater....

Thanks for the info, and more Whirlwind bits please.....:0) I think we're all getting reasonably excited about this possibility on the board, as it has been discussed regularly

Regards
Tony :0)
