Watch BBC1’s Antiques Roadshow at 8pm, Sunday, 23rd June. The episode is the final in the present series and the second from RAF Marham in Norfolk. Join Fiona Bruce and the experts as they view antiques and collectibles brought in by 3,500 members of the public to one of the RAF’s most important main operating bases.

Might be a good idea if the Stores had a good clear out ... bound to be stuff from WWII still on charge :ok:

Coff.

[Davita]

Probably still some leftover paint from the late '50s when I was ordered, as barrack room Corporal, to have all the beds painted pale blue. :ok:

[Wander00]

Is this a repeat of a programme broadcast ISTR last autumn?

[gr4techie]

Is the RAF that strapped for cash it has to sell off all it's silverware? Time to get the uckers trophy out to save the Sqn from disbandment.

[CoffmanStarter]

Wander00 ... No repeat ... No 2 of 2 :ok:

Coffman

That's no way to talk about their (ex) MCO!;)

[Tankertrashnav]

Oops, sorry, thought this thread was about me :(

[Wensleydale]

So did IX roll out the Tirpitz bulkhead?

[sisemen]

Nope. Just a Tonka (they ARE antiques aren't they??)

[just another jocky]

So did IX roll out the Tirpitz bulkhead?

Nah.....they lost that years ago. :E

[CoffmanStarter]

Steady chaps Sisemen will be flashing his signal in a moment :ok:

[Background Noise]

Wander00 ... No repeat ... No 2 of 2

[Background Noise]

Ah, I see, apologies.

[CoffmanStarter]

No need to apologise :ok:

[Megaton]

Marham antiques? I thought this would be about the honorary member who use to hang around the bar in the late 80's and early 90's drinking himself to a standstill.

[CoffmanStarter]

Well played to the same three aircrew "volunteered" to stand at the exhibit tables :D:D:D:D

[NutLoose]

Did you hear the RB199 powered Slingsby fly over?

[skua]

or indeed see the jet powered Slingsby - as FB proudly and frothily announced "this is the first exhibit we have ever had delivered by a jet!", a few minutes after a shot of the Slingsby shutting down.:ugh:

[Sook]

The very white and Germanic Slingsby cunning disguised as a Tutor? Must have been shot a long time ago...

[skua]

Point well made, Correction Grob.......

I must have been distracted by FB's legs.

[brokenlink]

Interesting that the Schnieder Cup apparently arrived in a fast jet when it was shown being unstrapped from a Tutor! Have we got a secret turbo prop version that holds onto its blades then?

[CoffmanStarter]

Achtung Slingsby!

[CoffmanStarter]

Brokenlink ... I was half expecting the Tutor prop to drop off mid shot :}

[NutLoose]

Foot.. Mouth.. extract...... Eyeballs polish

:O

The very white and Germanic Slingsby cunning disguised as a Tutor

Some were very white BTW before they went yellow, I did the control balancing on them after they got painted. Also G-Hong and G-Kong originated in White, went Yellow and then back to White after they realised it was verboten for them to be painted yellow.
