Marham Relics ...

[CoffmanStarter]

Just a heads up ...

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

Coff.

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.

[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

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??)

Steady chaps Sisemen will be flashing his signal in a moment

[Background Noise]

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

Think you might find it is: BBC One - Antiques Roadshow, Series 35, RAF Marham 1

[CoffmanStarter]

Background ... Sorry old chap most definitely Marham 2

BBC One - Antiques Roadshow, Series 35, RAF Marham 2

[Background Noise]

Ah, I see, apologies.

[CoffmanStarter]

No need to apologise

[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

[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.

[Sook]

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