Digsy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 The rear tyre was still inflated There was a Wellington bomber in Loch Ness which was raised a few years back. I saw the TV documentary on it when they brought it up. The main wheels on that still had pressure in the tyres, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 That made a good read, it’s my favourite aircraft the Spitfire and not that it was a fighter. It just looks so graceful when it’s in the air and its achievements in aerobatic ability were way ahead its time and also a big +1 for British engineering.

merckx Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Interesting stuff. The excavation of Bud Wolfe's plane is part of Dig WWII, a series for BBC Northern Ireland by 360 Production to be presented by Dan Snow and due to be shown next year. Surely they'll show it over here aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
