It's possible(?) that the a/c was put down when there was more of a sand cover over the rocky base and there has been susequent removal by wind action: dunno - it's a long time ago. It would be of more than passing interest to find out if a DNA check has been done on the bones found though..

Can't find the original thread on this a/c but here's an minor update on its status. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2222406/Dennis-Copping-Body-war-pilot-crash-landed-plane-Sahara-found.html The main thrust if you can't be bothered with the link is.. "The P40 Kittyhawk plane has been removed from the desert and locked in a storage crater in El Alemain. The Royal Air Force Museum at Hendon is in negotiations with Egyptian authorities to have the aircraft returned to Britain." I think they might mean a crate...:confused: !

One L in holiday, two L's in Wally. And twenty episodes, whatever that translates to...maybe two calendar years ? :confused: It would have been around '66 that it was showing in Oz? It's such a very looong time ago. “The Adventures of Hiram Holliday” was a half-hour filmed comedy/adventure series which ran for 20 episodes on the NBC Television Network (from 1956 to 1957). The TV series was based on a novel by Paul Gallico named “Adventures of Hiram Holliday” (1939). The series -- similar to the book -- focused on the adventures of a newspaper proofreader, who, through years of secret practice, has gained James Bond-like skills in many forms of physical combat, shooting, and in activities as diverse as rock-climbing and scuba-diving. Hiram Holliday was played by Wally Cox…"

Whoops - misspelt it ... Hiram HoLLiday. Yes, Wally Cox, but it ran for a couple of years at least. I saw it on the small B&W screen back in the mid to late 60's. I loved it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048839/

Yep, that's the one ... well done. -
B Bring back Hiram Holiday, I say... (Hiram who?)

"...the same experience as the earliest aviators ... no fear and no restrictions." Wonderful stuff - and as ever Den, your prose paints a beautiful (if a little scary) picture.[ATTACH=full]1786[/ATTACH]
