Am off to Spain for a few days next week and thought I'd take the opportunity to poke around out there. Anyone know of anything worth looking at from an old aeroplane perspective, museums, scrap yards, wrecksites, etc?

Anyone have a copy of European Wrecks & Relics and a scanner???

I can scan you the pages of Bob Ogdens book, but clear your inbox, everytime I send you something it bounces because it is over quota

Thanks Dave,

Inbox messages now suitably culled.

Did Bob Ogden do the European Wrecks & Relics? I have a copy of his museum book.

No that was Mike Bursell ( for the 1989 edition I have) there has been another since then by a different author. Mine will be a bit old me thinks

Phil:

These are some of the attractions you can find in Barcelona (not actually Northern Spain, but I have no idea yet where you will be going). If you are going really North, you may try to look Vitoria (Alaba province) in the last link I provided; Vitoria is the capital of the Basque region of Spain.

Given that airplane nuts are many times also attracted to other mechanical devices, I have included this link to one of the best railroad museums in Europe:

Thanks for the details Tulio. Will take a look at what's there.

Dave, any info very welcome, please bat through anything you have.

Where was that Hellcat beached that was pulled out the sea in that area? May still be something kicking around. Roger S, any ideas???
