Open letter to Clark and others involved in the yEnc posts earlier

I have been way too to do anything but lurk from a far the past few days. I
too am thinking about Oshkosh for next year.

What would be cool is if the NG's regular shooters could have some sort of
get together at the event. In the not too distant future I will do a repost
from my visit to Oshkosh a couple of years ago.

Attached is an image from an on going project of mine at Washington Dulles
Airport...

Indeed, Hub, your post shows you to be quite a gentleman. For the
record, I've already thought of you as one of the decent people for
some days now!

Some poster a few days back threatened that if people posted in yEnc,
they'd leave this group with no friends. Well, I doubt it has
anything at all to do with yEnc, but there's a goodly handful on this
group I already consider friends--they're just decent people, and I
really do hope some come to Oshkosh some year!

I am so confident that next year I will be there :-)
It's about time I did it.

If you do, I will post mine from the same year.
Whatever happened to Tom?

Here is one. The gentleman is Bob Brunson, former
Corsair night fighter pilot. I got to speak with
him for about half an hour. I had hoped to
continue correspondence via email, but he chose
not to respond. Still, it was a privilege to
meet and talk with him.

What is the plane on the right just in front of the Westland Whirlwind?

My guesses are. starting from foreground, Seafire, Corsair, Martlet
(Wildcat), on the right, a yellow-nosed Barracuda, then a black-nosed one,
then another Martlet half-out of the hangar. Facing at the far end, a
yellow-nosed Sea Hurricane and something peeping out of the hangar at the
left, which I wouldn't even guess at! I think the second Barracuda's tail
might have suggested a Whirlwind?

Anyway, that's a great shot, with all the different types, and I'd
love to hear if anyone has any background context. For example: is
that really a base in England? The vegetation seems to indicate that.

The landscape and the vegetation suggest that this could well be summer in
the UK but the different types of aircraft together with a lack of squadron
markings is strange. Could this be a museum or even a film set ? If it is
a UK airbase it's the worst kept one that I have ever seen, the grass is a
right mess and everywhere looks very shabby.

It's a bit late and it's a while since I saw the original post, but looking
at the colours, it looked a bit like it was a coloured-in black/white
picture. Or is it just my (lack of) eyesight.

Would a repost be possible.

It WAS an interesting picture.

It is an WWII FAA repair depot hence the many different aircraft.

There's an outside chance it could be Donibristle (HMS Merlin), in Fife,
which at one time was a Naval Aircraft Repair Yard.

Pat; Right you are, it lacks the Whirlwind's "bullet".
Thanks.
